Liverpool beat Brighton 2-0 at Anfield for first home league win
An own goal by Brighton's Pascal Gross and a strike from Alexander Isak gave Liverpool a 2-0 win over Brighton at Anfield, lifting them into the Premier League top four.
Liverpool secured their first league victory at Anfield with a 2-0 win over Brighton, a result that moves them into the Premier League top four. The breakthrough came through an own goal from Brighton's Pascal Gross, and Alexander Isak quickly added a second to put the home side in control.
The two goals arrived in swift succession, according to the match report, turning a tight contest decisively in Liverpool's favour before the visitors could respond. Brighton were unable to recover from that quick double setback and left Anfield without a goal of their own.
The win is notable for ending Liverpool's wait for a first home league triumph of the campaign, a sequence that had added pressure to their early-season position. Taking all three points at Anfield also lifted the team into the Champions League places, underlining the significance of the result beyond a single afternoon.
For Brighton, the defeat hinged on the own goal that opened the scoring and the immediate concession that followed. The Seagulls had no answer once Liverpool had established the two-goal cushion, and the match report offered no further detail on chances or incidents from the game.
