ST: Evan Ferguson – 6/10 – Dovetailed devilishly with Pedro, befuddling Liverpool’s backline with a flurry of constant movement.

Roberto De Zerbi – 6/10 – The Italian’s rewarding style is laced with risk which was exposed on Sunday afternoon. The team’s unrelenting desire to attack was also on full display.
Liverpool player ratings (4-3-3) as rated by 90min
GK: Alisson Becker – 5/10 – Failed to scamper across his line to rebuff Brighton’s opener but denied Adingra from point-blank range after the break.
RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold – 5/10 – Didn’t exert his familiar influence over proceedings with more of a subdued role.
CB: Joel Matip – 5/10 – Not quite as flustered as his defensive colleague.
CB: Virgil van Dijk – 4/10 – Liable to get dragged upfield by Brighton’s withdrawn forwards and lacking the recovery pace of old to hurry back into position.
LB: Andy Robertson – 3/10 – Couldn’t shackle Adingra at all and offered little going forward himself. Just as ineffective at defending a decisive set piece.
CM: Harvey Elliott – 6/10 – Making his first Premier League start of the season, Elliott was unfortunate to get hooked at half-time after a subservient opening 45 minutes backing up Salah and Alexander-Arnold in both halves.
CM: Alexis Mac Allister – 7/10 – On his return to the Amex, Mac Allister grew into the game, getting a grip of midfield after the break.
CM: Dominik Szoboszlai – 8/10 – The firm fan favourite only added to his swollen Appreciation Society with another all-action display.
RW: Mohamed Salah – 8/10 – The razor sharp edge to Liverpool’s attack, Salah still delivered even with a pared-back performance.
ST: Darwin Nunez – 6/10 – Unlike most strikers, Nunez’s first thought seemed to always be to tee up a teammate rather than shoot himself; that selflessness led to two Liverpool goals.
LW: Luis Diaz – 5/10 – Got more joy when drifting into a narrow position.
Substitutes
SUB: Ryan Gravenberch (46′ for Elliott) – 6/10 – Quickly caught up to the speed of the game, regularly crashing into Brighton’s box.
