Liverpool faced off against Brighton and Hove Albion at the American Express Community Stadium earlier today as they looked to secure a positive result on the road. The Reds were poor in the first half and were held to a scoreless draw at the half-time break.
Solly Marsch scored the opening goal for the Seagulls in the 46th minute before going on to score again just seven minutes later. Danny Welbeck killed the game off in the 81st minute as the match ended with Liverpool suffering a 3-0 loss away from home.
Let’s take a look at how each Liverpool player performed during the match against the Seagulls.

CB: Joel Matip – 5/10
Matip made a few clearances during the game but produced a disappointing performance in the second half.
CB: Ibrahima Konate – 6.5/10
He tried his best to keep things solid at the back and was a threat going forward.
LB: Andrew Robertson – 6.5/10
