Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool have to 'play better football' after Brighton defeat

Brighton beat Liverpool at the Amex to knock out the FA Cup holders after Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma scored a brilliant late winner.

Harvey Elliott had put Liverpool in front before Brighton equalised with a stroke of fortune when Tariq Lamptey’s shot was deflected home by Lewis Dunk, making it level at the break following an entertaining first half.

Both sides created chances to win it in the second period but it was Mitoma who finally delivered the quality required, taking a calm touch before flicking the ball away from a defender and steering it into the far corner past Alisson to spark bedlam at the Amex and send Brighton into the fifth-round draw.

Andy Robertson, Liverpool’s captain today: “We were a lot more competitive than we were against them two weeks ago, but that didn’t take a lot. At the end of the day, we’re out the Cup and that’s hard to take.”

Match summary: Brighton 2-1 Liverpool

Holders Liverpool were knocked out of the FA Cup after losing 2-1 at Brighton & Hove Albion in the fourth round on Sunday as Kaoru Mitoma struck the winning goal in stoppage time.

Harvey Elliott put Liverpool ahead, Lewis Dunk equalised before halftime and the score stayed at 1-1 until Mitoma found the net in the 92nd minute with a fine finish.

It was the second time Brighton defeated Liverpool this month, having also beaten Juergen Klopp’s side 3-0 in a Premier League game.

Liverpool’s teenage midfielder Elliott put them ahead in the 30th minute with a low shot into the far corner following a clever pass from Mohamed Salah.

Brighton equalised nine minutes later when Dunk got a flick on a long-range effort from Tariq Lamptey which deflected into the goal, with goalkeeper Alisson Becker wrong-footed.

Salah missed a good chance in the second half and so did Solly March for Brighton before Mitoma controlled the ball on the half volley before firing home a dramatic late winner.

Lewis Dunk admits he didn’t mean his deflected goal. On Mitoma: “I’m just glad I don’t have to chase him. He’s come out of nowhere and he’s a top player.”

Mitoma is a symbol of everything good about Brighton right now. The recruitment, the value, the ability to replace quality with even better quality. Bought for £2.5m, he must already be worth 10 times that, and climbing.

The composure of Mitoma in that moment, with the entire tie on the line, was just unreal. He is already one of the best wingers in the Premier League.

88 min: I’m not quite sure why that wasn’t upgraded to red, but it wasn’t. Brighton can feel a little hard done by with decisions in this second half. Ferguson has had to be replaced, and he limps off.

87 min: The replay doesn’t look pretty: Fabinho’s studs scrape down the Achilles of Evan Ferguson, who is down getting treatment. An ugly tackle, that.
