Liverpool Defeats Brighton 2-0 with Salah's Impact in Premier League Clash
Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory over Brighton at Anfield, highlighted by Hugo Ekitiké's two goals, including the fastest Premier League goal of the season scored at 46 seconds.
Mohamed Salah returned to action as a first-half substitute in the 26th minute after Joe Gomez was injured. Salah quickly made his presence felt, nearly assisting a chance for Mac Allister and delivering a corner that led to Ekitiké's second goal, where Ekitiké headed home unmarked at the back post.
The opening goal was set up following a clearance error by Minteh, which involved Joe Gomez and Ekitiké capitalizing on the opportunity.
Salah registered his third Premier League assist of the season during the match. Additionally, Virgil van Dijk marked his 250th Premier League appearance for Liverpool, all as a starter.
Liverpool maintained back-to-back clean sheets for the third time this season. Looking ahead, the team recognizes the need for a resolution before Salah's return from the Africa Cup of Nations.
