Danny Welbeck gave the visitors an early lead.
Mohamed Salah scored a vital winner as Liverpool overcame a significant Brighton challenge to win 2-1 and kick-start the title run-in by sending a message to rivals Manchester City and Arsenal.
It was his 22nd of the season – and ninth in 15 appearances against the Seagulls – and one of the most important of the campaign considering the context of the day, with City and Arsenal playing each other. Mac Allister, who was excellent throughout against the club he left in the summer, headed wide from Joe Gomez’s cross, Dominik Szoboszlai drove wide and a subdued Darwin Nunez had a shot blocked by the keeper.Virgil van Dijk found Szobozslai on the right, he squared to Mac Allister, who drilled a pass into the feet of Salah and he controlled with his first touch before firing home with his second.
