Brighton 3-2 Liverpool: Dramatic reversal enhances Seagulls European qualification hope

Brighton fell behind twice, and Jack Hinshelwood, who came out of the bench, helped Brighton to dramatically beat Premier League champion Liverpool 3-2, improving their hopes of qualifying for Europe.

Brighton knew at the start of the night that a win would put them in eighth, which was still enough to secure next season’s Europa League, and they did it in a tough way against Liverpool, leading to two trailing back at the American Express Stadium before Hinsharewood appeared.

It's a night where some of Liverpool's fringe players show Arne Slot what they can do, and they continue to show their strength to lead them to the championship. Connor Bradley started before Trent Alexander Arnold, easily broke through Brighton's defense and then crossed to Harvey Elliott to help the champion take the lead early.

At the other end, Arn Slott's team was not that smooth due to Virgil van Deck's absence. Brighton reacts well to falling behind and looks threatening every time they push forward. Danny Velbeck headed the ball from a close distance but opportunities continued to appear, and Yasin Ayari completed the home team's clever move to tie the score. Liverpool faced 11 shots in 45 minutes in the opening game, the most they have faced in the first half of the Premier League this season and in nine years, but they regained the lead before halftime.

Dominic Sobosloy unexpectedly shot the ball over Bart Weilbrugan in the cross position. Is he serious? Is this going to be a cross? Slott's reaction on the sideline was incredible, and during the intermission, Gary Neville said in an interview with Sky Sports: "It doesn't have the shape of a cross. However, Dominic Sobosloy's casual celebration and his shy expression showed that maybe he didn't mean it.

Brighton continued to push forward after the intermission, putting pressure on Liverpool, but Slott's side had a better chance to expand the advantage. Mohamed Salah was his 300th appearance in the Premier League, proving that he was just a man, he missed an empty goal, expanded the visiting lead, and then the substitute Mita-Kao equalized the score, leaving Brighton in 69th The second equaliser in the minute. Alisson blocked the first shot from Welbeck, but Mitoma, who had already played for 4 minutes, followed up with a fill-up shot.

Under Brighton's momentum, there seemed to be only one winner in the final stage, but they would look frustrated when Hin Shelwood's close shot was initially invalidated. However, the replay showed Matt O'Reilly slightly offside before sending the assist, which triggered a crazy celebration of the goal and the game.

"Pure relief when the goal" Brighton game winner Jack Hin Shelwood told Sky Sports: "First of all, I came out on the bench, I want to play, make a huge impact, and do my best. “I thought the ball came, it sat up perfectly and I scored it.” We waited nervously before the goal was allowed, but when the goal was allowed, I felt relieved. ”How does Brighton qualify for Europe?

Liverpool have only one point in three games since winning the championship on April 27, while Fabian Huzeler's host climbed to eighth place before Sunday's season finale against Tottenham Hotspur, three points higher than Brentford.

Brighton won Manchester City in the shocking FA Cup final on Saturday to win the UEFA Cup, Brighton Attempts to sneak into Europe are complicated. Fabian Huzeler's side must stay in the eighth position for a chance, and then hope that Chelsea will finish seventh and beat Real Betis in the conference league final.

If Chelsea gets sixth, wins the league title, Newcastle will finish seventh, it is also possible, but if the Blues lift the trophy and make the top five, then the eighth will have no European spot.
