What a giants-killer the Seagulls truly are! After topping Manchester United and Chelsea in the Premier League, and Arsenal in the EFL Cup, Brighton and Hove Albion dismantled Liverpool 3-0 (0-0) on Saturday night at Amex stadium.In a proper cat-and-mouse game, the underdogs proved to be a much better side, dominating the entire game. Solly March’s second-half brace followed by Welbeck’s goal sealed a much-deserved victory that pushed the Seagulls to the seventh position, leapfrogging Liverpool.The pale visitors didn’t create a single worth-mentioning goal-scoring chance, with Salah and newcomer Gakpo staying as far from any action in the opposite half as possible. And the offence wasn’t the worst part of the Scousers’ team today. Konate and Matip, along with Thiago, struggled so much with those Brighton’s through balls in the last third. That was the exact recipe for the hosts offensively, as they struck twice in the second half in the same style. And through the same player – Solly March.
