SUMMARY

Liverpool came from behind to beat Brighton 2-1 this Saturday in the tenth round of the Premier League. Kadioglu opened the scoring in a lacklustre first half for the Reds. The home side came back stronger after the break and turned the game around with goals from Gakpo and Salah in the 24th and 26th minutes, respectively. With the result, Liverpool retakes the lead in the league and reaches 25 points, leaving Manchester City in second place with 23. Brighton drops to seventh and remains on 16 points.

GOOD FIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE TABLE

The Reds regained the lead in the Premier League with Saturday’s victory, livening up the head-to-head between Liverpool and Manchester City since the start of the competition. The Reds started the tournament in first place, but saw their rivals come close in the last few rounds and overtook them after Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal. The tenth round was decisive for the return and helped Arne Slot’s team a lot: they won and City lost 2-1 to Bournemouth.
