"Liverpool capped a much needed week of positive results with their second consecutive clean sheet, this time in a 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton at Anfield on Saturday. Mohamed Salah made his return to the side and came on earlier than expected following a disappointing injury to Joe Gomez. The Reds had a lively looking attack and did enough defensively to get the three points in the bank."
"Alisson - 7/10 - Made a strong save early on, getting low to deny Brighton their clearest chance up until that time. Not a whole lot of work to do directly after that, but played his role well as always. Joe Gomez - 6/10 - He started the match so well and on the front foot and it was his effort that created the first goal opportunity. Unfortunate injury luck once again, but it's the story of his Liverpool career."
"Ibrahima Konate - 6.5/10 - Made some decent clearances and he outmuscled the opposition on more than one occasion. However, picked up a reckless yellow card at the halfway line and was caught out a few times. Virgil van Dijk - 7/10 - Patrolled the defensive third well throughout and made sure he was always where he and others needed to be at all times. Not a commandeering display, but good work from the captain. Milos Kerkez - 6.5/10 - A much more disciplined performance from the fiery Hungarian as he did his best to deal with the very dangerous Yankuba Minteh on the wing."
Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory over Brighton at Anfield and recorded a second straight clean sheet, providing a boost of positive results. Mohamed Salah returned earlier than anticipated after Joe Gomez suffered an unfortunate injury. The team combined attacking liveliness with sufficient defensive organization to claim three points. Alisson produced a key early save, Gomez began strongly before being forced off, and central defenders offered composed contributions despite some moments of risk. Midfielders Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch impressed with energy and composure, while other performers delivered generally steady, workmanlike displays.
