Swashbuckling Liverpool Seize Their Moment in 2-0 Win over Brighton

On Sunday, Liverpool defeated Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 at Anfield, securing manager Andoni Iraola's first Premier League win at the stadium and extending the Reds' winning streak to four matches in all competitions.
Florian Wirtz's 17th-minute shot deflected off Pascal Gross for the opener, and Bradley Barcola set up Alexander Isak's sixth league goal four minutes later, shattering Brighton's four-game winning streak.
Despite maintaining just 36% possession and recording a season-low 69% passing accuracy, Liverpool relied on Virgil van Dijk's defensive composure to protect their lead throughout the match.
Brighton struggled to find attacking verve, failing to make goalkeeper Alisson work despite their recent 5-0 demolition of Crystal Palace, marking a sharp decline for Fabian Hürzeler's side.
Sitting fourth in the Premier League table, Liverpool now trail Manchester City and Arsenal by six points and face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday following their midweek Champions League comeback.

Liverpool star Isak back to his best says Iraola

Iraola's side netted twice in quick succession in the first half at Anfield, with Pascal Gross's own goal followed by Isak's latest strike. Isak has scored six times in seven league games this season and has three goals in his last four matches.
