Following the match, left-back Andy Robertson revealed that he does not believe the Reds are in contention for the title ahead of their clash against Manchester City on Sunday.
The Reds have won just 2 of their last 8 league games, and host the league leaders at Anfield. This is a must-win game for Jurgen Klopp and his men if they wish to retain their Premier League title.
Brighton were better than Liverpool: Robertson after second consecutive home defeat
Liverpool have been dealing with a massive injury crisis this season, with the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Diogo Jota and Joel Matip all out with long-term injuries. Fabinho, Sadio Mane, and Alisson will also be out for short spells.
The Reds only managed one shot on target against Brighton, who became the second team in two games to come away with all three points from Merseyside.
The Reds’ home defeat to Brighton makes the clash against Manchester City even more crucial than it was before, especially since all their title rivals picked up impressive wins in midweek.
Manchester City defeated Burnley 2-0 away from home while Manchester United drubbed 9-man Southampton 9-0. Leicester City - who sit one place above Liverpool in the Premier League table - also picked up a 2-0 win over 18th-placed Fulham.
