Overview
- Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory over Brighton at Anfield on Sunday after a Pascal Gross own goal and a first-time finish by Alexander Isak put the home side in control.
- Isak continued his rich form by scoring his sixth goal in seven league games, a run Iraola credited to better service from wide players such as Bradley Barcola.
- Florian Wirtz left the match with a small twist of the ankle and Liverpool described the issue as minor but said they will monitor him closely because the team plays every three days.
- Brighton dominated possession and had 17 shots but managed only one on target, leaving them punished for low finishing despite more time on the ball.
- The win moved Liverpool up the table into fourth and marked a turning point for Iraola, who has now led the club to four straight wins and claimed his first Premier League home victory since taking charge.
