On December 13, 2025, during the 16th round of the Premier League, Liverpool defeated Brighton 2-0 at their home stadium. Both goals were scored by Hugo Ekitike.
The hosts applied high pressing from the very first moments of the match. The opening goal was scored following an opponent’s mistake near the corner area.
Joe Gomez's pass was converted by Ekitike, directing the ball into the net. Subsequently, the Merseyside team slowed the game tempo and continued controlling possession.
In response, the Seagulls launched occasional attacks primarily down the right flank, but Alisson and the defensive line comfortably neutralized them. After halftime, the visitors tried to accelerate their attacks, but the Reds halted them near the penalty area.
Later, Arne Slot made a tactical substitution, bringing Mohamed Salah onto the field in place of Joe Gomez. Shortly afterward, Liverpool scored their second goal from a set-piece.
Salah delivered a corner kick to the far post, and Ekitike won the aerial duel to direct the ball into the near corner. Towards the end of the match, Brighton tried to score at least once, but the hosts maintained their lead and secured the victory.
