Mohamed Salah back in the squad at Anfield

Liverpool vs Brighton LIVE

Liverpool made it two wins from two on Saturday thanks to Hugo Ekitike’s second brace in as many Premier League matches. The Frenchman bagged his first just 47 seconds into the match after a poor clearance from Yankuba Minteh fell into his path, and he smashed a finish over the head of a helpless Bart Verbruggen.

After a week of gossip, intrigue and acrimony, Mohamed Salah was back on the bench for Liverpool and made his comeback much sooner than anyone might have expected as Joe Gomez came off injured after just 26 minutes. While he won and took the corner from which Ekitike scored his second of the day, it was a challenging comeback for the Egyptian, who was not at his best. He shot well over the bar under minimal pressure late in the match, and squandered a three-on-one counter-attack in injury time with a badly misplaced pass to Andy Robertson.

Brighton pressed hard in the dying stages as they looked to claw their way back into the match, but squandered a series of presentable chances and headed back down south empty-handed. Catch up with the action as it happened below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis.
