Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp made an honest five-word admission after seeing his side blow a 2-0 lead to draw with Brighton at Anfield on Saturday. The Reds looked to be well on their way to victory before the Seagulls came storming back into the contest to claim a point. 

“It feels like a defeat,” admitted the Liverpool manager.

“It’s not only because we were 2-0 up and didn’t win, it’s because the game I saw, we scored two of the most beautiful goals I’ve ever seen us score, which were disallowed.

“The pressing goal for Sadio was just unlucky. If you want to teach pressing, you would show this situation. But disallowed for handball, I guess.

“Top moments in the first half where we showed how we can hurt Brighton, played some top passes through the centre and played really good football but were only 2-0.

“In the second half, we were not good enough. The body language I didn’t like it all. It was like ‘oh my God, it’s really tough’. Yeah, it was clear before the game.

“The best way to defend Brighton is to have the ball yourself and play in the spaces where they are exposed, but we didn’t do that and that’s a problem.”
