Brighton 0-1 Liverpool
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Amex Stadium
Lacklustre Liverpool ground back to winning ways to reaffirm their Premier League lead with a patchy 1-0 victory at Brighton.
Mohamed Salah struck his 14th league goal of the season from the penalty spot as the off-kilter Reds stretched their top-flight advantage over Manchester City back to seven points.
Liverpool failed to produce the kind of statement win to flex their title-challenge muscles following successive defeats to chief rivals City in the league, and Wolves in the FA Cup.
Klopp's men laboured throughout, unable to generate anything like their trademark attacking zeal - but despite that malaise, the visitors still had enough to take all three points.
On this evidence Liverpool still appear to be coming to terms with losing their unbeaten league run in the 2-1 defeat at second-placed Manchester City.
But no one at Anfield will begrudge the win, with City hosting Wolves on Monday night with the chance to trim Liverpool's league lead back to four points.
David Lynch is in attendance at the Amex Stadium and you can relive the action LIVE on Standard Sport.
