An anticipated combination of Gakpo and Salah is turning out to be a disaster after Brighton feasted on Liverpool.
Brighton & Hove Albion hosted Liverpool at their American Express Community stadium. Solly March double and Danny Welbeck goals were enough to make Liverpool walk alone.
New signing, Cody Gakpo had his first Premier League start alongside Mohamed Salah, a long anticipated combination in the Premier League since the Dutchman joined from Ajax.
Brighton dominated the match so much it was nearly impossible to dictate if a pair of Gakpo and Salah were on the pitch.
A loss ball from Liverpool gifted Solly March his first goal before the English man scored a stunner in the second half. Former Manchester United player, Danny Welback wrapped up the humiliation with a fine effort that got past Allison.
Liverpool only managed two shots on target compared to Brightons nine. Both Gakpo and Salah were unable to get behind Brighton’s well organised defence.
Liverpool are eight position on the Premier league table.
