Liverpool match analysis by Ian Doyle after Mohamed Salah scores twice in a 2-2 draw with Brighton at the AMEX
Mohamed Salah scored twice in the first half as the Reds had to come from a goal down after a mix up between Virgil van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister and Alisson allowed Simon Adingra to score. Lewis Dunk equalised in the second half after Ryan Gravenberch had earlier hit the bar before Joao Pedro missed a big opportunity to score the winner.
And it was from there he made his first top-flight start since April here, although it was telling his best contribution came when not touching the ball in leaving Darwin Nunez’s pass for Mohamed Salah to equalise. For Elliott, though, it was a reminder of the intense competition for places for midfield. His versatility means opportunities will be regular – but determining his best role will be hugely beneficial. Time, though, remains very much on his side.“We want a replay!” chanted the Brighton fans shortly after Mohamed Salah had drawn Liverpool level. And the Egyptian duly delivered.
Quite how Pascal Gross was not at least booked for hauling down Dominik Szoboszlai for the penalty only referee Anthony Taylor and VAR Chris Kavanagh will know, although most people have long given up trying to fathom out how officials reach major decisions this season. Klopp will have been disappointed at the Reds, having taken control in the second half, conceding Lewis Dunk’s equaliser cheaply from a set-piece, particularly given how his team had earlier successfully defended a succession of corners.
