Kaoru Mitoma scored in stoppage time as Brighton knocked holders Liverpool out of the FA Cup with an impressive victory at the Amex.
With the match headed for a draw, Japan winger Mitoma produced a fine display of control before firing home from close range to stun the Reds.
Jurgen Klopp’s side, beaten 3-0 at the Seagulls two weeks ago, took the lead midway through the first half when Harvey Elliott slotted into the bottom corner from Mohamed Salah’s pass after a quick break.
However, Brighton leveled when Tariq Lamptey’s shot from distance flew into the back of the net to be parried hard by Lewis Dunk.
It looks like Mitoma will need a replay at Anfield to decide the tie before robbing Brighton of another big result.
It’s a testament to the impressive work Seagulls boss Roberto De Zerbi has done since his appointment that you can never be sure which team will be the favorite heading into this match.
