Soccer is wonderful. Forgive me the most staunch fans of the Liverpool, because of course they will not be happy to read this in relation to the fact that their team has reaped a defeat. But it is because things happen like what happened this Wednesday. Those of Klopp to play in Anfield after last January 21, the last time they had done it, they fell before the Burnley ending 68 matches of Premier League acting like locals without losing. And what happened? Well, far from starting a new streak, they were once again beaten on the scoreboard. Also 0-1 this time, with the Brighton from Graham potter acting as an executioner and being Stand up, helped by Trossard, the author of the only goal of the match.
To be fair, it should be noted that, unlike what happened in front of the Burnley, this time we cannot speak of a miracle due to the fact that the visitor was victorious from Anfield. The Brighton He won and he did it with total merit after a match in which, although with a different style and without needing the ball too much, he looked Liverpool in the face and without any kind of complex.
However, the history of the party could change if Salah, enabled by a long pass from Henderson (this time central) and with just two minutes of play played, it would have been right to beat Robert Sánchez in a heads up. He did not, and as someone who forgives generally ends up paying it, “Don Fútbol” wrote it down to check him later.
It was already in the second half. Specifically in 56 ', when in a very rare play, between Stand up Y Trossard, as if of Oliver Atom Y Tom baker in question, they signed a shot combined with carom that found the net before an outmatched Kelleher. Liverpool had been trying to dismantle the defense of the Brighton of all the ways there have been and to be, and the rival tore his to shreds without requiring too much elaboration and with a certain fortune on his side. From there and until the end, the game was broken at times, but the 0-1 in the light remained perennial until the final whistle.

Liverpool have not yet scored in Anfield in 2021 and with this defeat, it is difficult to revalidate the Premier League. The Manchester City, with one game less played, he already has a 7-point advantage. If next Sunday, when those of Guardiola they visit Anfield, those of Klopp, the Liverpool will be virtually ruled out of the fight for the title.
