The Reds battled from behind to earn a 2-1 win and move to the summit of the Premier League table following Manchester City’s shock loss at Bournemouth.
Brighton were by far the better team in the first half and deservedly opened the scoring through Ferdi Kadioglu. In truth, the Seagulls should have increased their advantage before the break, with Kadioglu spurning two more golden chances.
But Arne Slot’s troops improved markedly after the interval, with Cody Gakpo’s cross-cum-shot equalising for Liverpool on 69 minutes before Mo Salah fired home the winner.
Although Hurzeler took heart from the Seagulls’ performance, he admitted that his side should have come away with at least a share of the spoils. The Brighton chief said: “Football is always a game of results and we need results for the process. We have to understand to get results but the performance was good enough to win this game easily, especially in the first half. There were a lot of moments where we should score the second or third goal and the game would be completely different.
