The newly crowned Premier League champion took a few days off to celebrate it properly – even went to Ibiza for a full-scale party – only to return to work tonight to take on Brighton at their ground.Arne Slot’s men weren’t completely clueless at American Express Stadium, that much needs to be said, but it ends 3-2 for Brighton and Hove Albion.The Reds were in front twice, but the stubborn Seagulls kept bouncing back to secure a win in this highly entertaining match.Brighton beat Liverpool in a thriller!The win keeps their European hopes alive 🔵⚪️#BHALIV pic.twitter.com/keayhkI4IL— Premier League (@premierleague) May 19, 2025 In this intensive tie, we saw five goals, a dozen chances on both ends and a handful of nasty tackles. That last one shows the importance of the game for both sides, as they care so much about their pride and their respective fans, who showed up in serious numbers tonight in Brighton.Harvey Elliott opened the scoring for the visitors within ten minutes as he capitalized on his team’s excellent effort.The hosts restored the stalemate through Ayari before the break, but Szoboszlai’s spectacular cross-turned-into-a-shot made it 2-1 for the Scousers in the dying seconds of the first half.SZOBOOOOO!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/4OLUPf0Dmt— Liverpool FC (@LFC) May 19, 2025 Still, it was far from over, and when Liverpool failed to wrap up the match with a few more than promising chances, the home side was ready for a massive comeback.Mitoma pounced on a loose ball following Welbeck’s attempt to make it even steaven with just enough time left for a complete turnaround.Hinshelwood’s tap-in was disallowed first, but a lengthy VAR review showed that Quansah was a second too late in his offside trap, thus making this goal stand after all.Jack Hinshelwood bleeds blue and white, he absolutely gets it. 💙If Harry Howell follows his footsteps our future captains are so bright. 😍#BHAFC pic.twitter.com/ghRUb6tODU— lemmybhafc (@LemmyG10) May 19, 2025 The new champion will face FA Cup winners Crystal Palace at Anfield on the final matchday of the season, while eight-placed Brighton travel to London to face Tottenham.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 37Friday Aston Villa – Tottenham 2-0 (0-0)/Konsa 59, Kamara 73/Chelsea – Manchester United 1-0 (0-0)/Cucurella 71/Sunday Everton – Southampton 2-0 (2-0)/Ndiaye 6, 45+2/West Ham – Nottingham Forest 1-2 (0-1)/Bowen 86 – Gibbs-White 11, Milenkovic 61/Brentford – Fulham 2-3 (2-1)/Mbeumo 22, Wissa 43 – Jimenez 16, Cairney 68, Wilson 70/Leicester – Ipswich 2-0 (1-0)/Vardy 28, McAteer 69/Arsenal – Newcastle 1-0 (0-0)/Rice 55/Monday Brighton – Liverpool 3-2 (1-2)/Ayari 32, Mitoma 69, Hinshelwood 85 – Elliott 9, Szoboszlai 45+1/Tuesday22.00: (2.30) Crystal Palace (3.35) Wolverhampton (3.15)22.00: (1.55) Man.City (4.20) Bournemouth (5.90)***odds are subject to change***
