Liverpool fight back to beat Brighton and take advantage of Man City slip as they go two points clear at the top
Liverpool were second best in the first half and fell behind to a fine strike from Ferdi Kadioglu, with Georginio Rutter and Danny Welbeck spurning chances to add to their lead before the break.
“In this game we were 1-0 down at half-time – I think we deserved to be – and then to come back so strongly against a quality team, to come back the way that we did gives me a lot of confidence. “First of all credit to Brighton for the way they showed up here with composure, not afraid to play out from the back really well, and with a lot of energy without the ball,” he said.
“I said a few things but I wasn’t screaming or fuming. It’s just making sure the players understand this was not enough and I think they felt themselves that way.” “The performance was good enough to win this game easily, especially in the first half, we had a lot of moments where we should have scored a second or even a third goal and then the game is completely different.
