EPL: Points shared after Mo Salah’s brace in Liverpool’s clash against Brighton

Liverpool faced Brighton in an intense clash that ended 2-2, marking the Reds’ first Premier League match since the VAR controversy.

Jurgen Klopp who celebrated his eighth anniversary as Liverpool’s manager, had no reason to blame VAR this time as they failed to secure a victory.

Brighton’s Lewis Dunk put in the last goal for a well-deserved point for his team. Prior to that, Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah had been the star of the game, scoring twice before halftime.

Ivory Coast midfielder Simon Adringra opened the scoring for Brighton, marking his third start for Brighton this season.
