The Reds have found Brighton a tough nut to crack in recent times, and made another slow start during their latest visit to the Amex Stadium. A familiar face helped the hosts to get their noses in front, with World Cup winner Mac Allister paying the price for seeing his pocket pinched in the middle of the park.

Instead of moving towards a pass nudged in his direction, Mac Allister waited for the ball to come to him. That allowed Simon Adingra to nip in and find himself in acres of space on the end of the box. There was still plenty for him to do, but a smart finish was stroked beyond the outstretched arms of Alisson.
DID YOU KNOW?
Mac Allister left Brighton when completing a £35 million ($43m) transfer to Liverpool during the summer window. He had taken in 112 appearances for the Seagulls, with his exploits on the south coast earning him a place in Argentina’s triumphant 2022 World Cup squad.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Mac Allister is still searching for a spark at Liverpool, with the absence of other midfielders in Jurgen Klopp’s plans doing his cause few favours, and the 24-year-old will be aware that he has a lot more to offer the most ambitious of Premier League outfits.
