US EditionSlot Has No Excuses - His Liverpool Don't Like It in the Premier League Trenches
Liverpool have taken just one point from their last three games after Danny Welbeck's brace helped Brighton secure a 2-1 victory at the Amex Stadium.
- On Saturday, Brighton & Hove Albion beat Liverpool FC 2-1 at the Amex Stadium with Danny Welbeck scoring twice and Milos Kerkez replying, while Liverpool manager Arne Slot called the defeat damaging.
- Liverpool boss Arne Slot cited absentees and quick turnaround after Wednesday's Champions League, noting Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker were absent and Hugo Ekitike was substituted with a dead leg.
- Welbeck's opener arrived in the 14th minute, heading past Ibrahima Konate, Milos Kerkez equalised in the 30th minute by lobbing Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, and Welbeck's second in the 56th minute stood after a VAR check.
- Liverpool have earned just one point from their last three league games and sit fifth, one point ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea before its match at Everton, putting a top-five Premier League finish at stake.
- Slot conceded expectations are high after last season's title and heavy spending, acknowledging mounting scrutiny less than a year after Liverpool's record-equalling 20th title and historic league losses not seen in a decade.
