Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma left two Liverpool players in his dust with slick footwork

Brighton & Hove Albion continued their blistering start to the 2022/23 season by putting on a sensational performance away to Liverpool on Saturday.

Despite Jurgen Klopp’s men being practically unbeatable at Anfield in the league when fans are in attendance, the Seagulls might well feel as though they should have taken all three points from their trip this weekend.

After all, Roberto De Zerbi well and truly picked up from where Graham Potter had left off when he watched his new side race into a stunning 2-0 lead courtesy of a Leandro Trossard brace.

The tricky Belgian took no prisoners with a ruthless pair of finishes and fans were quick to point out how his first goal, in particular, perpetuated the narrative surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold at the moment.

Liverpool‘s star right-back hardly covered himself in glory when his weak headed clearance sparked a chain reaction that led to him watching Trossard fire past Alisson Becker while he was on all fours.

But more on that in a second because the Reds did indeed mount a comeback with Roberto Firmino’s brace and Adam Webster’s own goal flipping the game on its head between the 33rd and 63rd minute.

However, not only did Trossard pull back a deserved point for the visitors by completing his hat-trick late on, but Alexander-Arnold’s misery was once again compounded from a defensive point of view.
