FilGoal | News | Brighton snatches a “drop from heaven” against Liverpool, under the gaze of an angry Salah, injuries and VAR

“A point from heaven” was the suspension of Hafeez Draghi after Brighton’s goal, after the match was left to Liverpool on matchday 10 of the English Premier League.

The Reds came back with just one point in kill time, after Pascal Gross scored in the second minute of time rather than losing.

The match witnessed video technology interference on 3 occasions, with two goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane disallowed, and a fatal penalty awarded to the owners of the field.

Injuries also played a large part in the game, after Neil Mobay and Adam Lallana were injured and left the match from the ranks of Azul, and James Milner of the Reds.

Liverpool’s account rose to 21 points, one point behind Tottenham, who will face Chelsea tomorrow at the top of the tenth round.

Brighton raised its score to 10 points, 6 points behind relegation positions.

Liverpool failed to win an away win in the Premier League for 4 games in a row (3 draws and 1 loss) for the first time between January and March 2017.

This is the first time the Reds have lost points after a minute in the Premier League since 2017 against Watford in a match that ended in a 3-3 draw.

Training

Salah was a key player in the match after his absence from the Leicester City match, alongside Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino.

Brazilian Alison has appeared in her 100th match for Liverpool in all competitions.

Description of the match

Before kick-off, the players of both teams observed a minute of silence for the spirit of the legendary Argentine Diego Armando Maradona, who died at the age of 60.

The match got off to a fast start and Salah nearly scored a goal early in the third minute after he was hit by a goal from Takumi Minamino and Salah struck, but his ball passed the left post.

Brighton’s response was quick and forceful, starting in the tenth minute, only from Aaron Connolly, but he wasted a shot down the left by Alison, who plays her 100th game for Liverpool in all competitions.

In the 19th minute, the same player scored a penalty for his colleague Neil Mobay, who wasted it without shaking the Brazilian goalkeeper’s net.

Mobay became the first player to start a Premier League game and miss a penalty kick, knocking out before the end of the first half since Dennis Bergkamp against Derby County in April 1998.

And it was only a minute until the Frenchman fell to the ground and then left the field due to injury, and was replaced in the 25th minute, the Belgian Leandro Trussard.

Liverpool took the reins again, a long pass from Alison to Firmino, who opened the way for Salah to go solo and hit the net, announcing the Reds’ lead in the 34th minute.

A goal was disallowed by Salah’s infiltration of a few centimeters after studying video technology, and the first half ended negatively between the two teams.

With the start of the second half, Jürgen Klopp joined the captain, Jordan Henderson, in place of Nico Williams, and James Milner returned to the right.

In the 60th minute he smiled at the Reds, a pass from Salah to Diogo Jota, who penetrated deep into the penalty area and hit a ball to the right of the goalkeeper that hit the net.

The goal is the fifth for the young Portuguese in the English Premier League and the ninth in all competitions.

Three minutes later, Graham Potter joined former Liverpool player Adam Lallana, while Salah looked angry when he learned of his departure and the arrival of Senegalese Sadio Mane.

In the 8th minute, Lallana left the field directly due to injury and played for Ali Reza Jahanbakhsh.

In the 84th minute, Sadio Mane scored the Reds’ second goal with his header off a Henderson free kick, but his goal was disallowed after reverting to video technology for offside.

When the match was almost over, Brighton received a penalty. Andrew Roberston, while distracting the ball, missed and kicked Danny Willeback’s foot.

After reviewing the technique of the video, the referee awarded a penalty kick that Pascal Gross scored with full force into Alison’s net.

“A point out of the blue” was the suspension of Hafeez Draghi after the goal, after the match was in the hands of Liverpool, to take Liverpool, albeit temporarily, in the lead with 21 points.
