The Reds' title defense suffered a massive blow after a dramatic late turnaround at the Amex.

Premier League leaders Liverpool were left shell-shocked on Saturday after suffering a dramatic late defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion, who scored a 92nd-minute equalizer to rock the champions' hopes.

In a scrappy game at the Amex, the Reds missed chances to put the game to bed before a Liverpool own-goal and a last-gasp Brighton strike sealed a stunning turnaround, with the hosts scoring twice in the final five minutes.

The shock result leaves Liverpool ahead of Manchester City only on goal difference at the top of the table, with Pep Guardiola's side hosting Chelsea on Sunday. It was a bad day for Liverpool, period. They conceded two late goals and, more importantly, they didn't create enough.

They dominated the game but didn't take their chances when they were on top. They didn't defend well enough, and it was probably a fair result in the end.

It's nothing worrying for Liverpool, nothing to be overly concerned about, but it will plant a little seed of doubt. They have to believe that they can go to any ground and dominate a game and still come away with the three points.

Whether it's a positive or a negative for Manchester City, we don't know, but it's certainly not a negative for the Premier League, and it was a great game for the neutral.

It was end-to-end, with both teams having good chances. For most of the game, Liverpool looked OK. They didn't hit the heights we are used to seeing, but they created some good chances.

They didn't take them, and then the own goal happened. That gave Brighton a lift, a sniff that they could get something from the game, and they capitalized on it.

It was a terrible goal to give away from a Liverpool perspective. Let's hope this is just a one-off and see them continue to create chances.

Go!
