Liverpool welcomed Brighton and Hove Albion at Anfield earlier this afternoon as they looked to earn all three points at home in the Premier League. The Reds made a dream start to the contest and got their noses ahead in the first minute when Hugo Ekitike found the back of the net. Arne Slot’s men went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Ekitike doubled his team’s advantage in the 60th minute as the Merseyside club earned a solid 2-0 win in front of their home fans.
