Brighton vs Liverpool: Salah magic not enough as Reds drop points against spirited Seaguls
Mohamed Salah was the best player on the pitch as Liverpool and Brighton played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Amex Stadium.
What Klopp said
"I think it is the right result, to be honest. of course, after giving the 1-0 away, with all the quality Brighton have, they didn't do a lot," he said, per the BBC.
"We served the goal on a plate pretty much. Second half we should have scored maybe the third one, with two big chances. But then we lost too many one-v-ones. When you give these set-pieces away it becomes very open. We conceded the goal and now it is 2-2.
"The first goal is [a mistake] Like all of our layers, Mac Allister found his way back onto the game. The set-piece is a really good set-piece to be honest. We missed it with two players and that's why with set-pieces you should avoid them in the first place. That's it. Nothing else.
"The pressure they made in that situation. We have had games when we played really well against man-marking. We had moments when we won the first one. If we were better today, we would have really hurt them. But we didn't. That's how I feel - a little bit OK.”
