How it happened
Brighton began brightly and seized upon a Liverpool error to take the lead.
Virgil van Dijk was caught out while trying to play out of the back, alowing Simon Adingra to steal the ball high up the field and catch out Alisson with an early strike.
As the half wore on, Liverpool found their flight and took the lead in the blink of an eye.
First, an incisive attack ended with Harvey Elliott leaving Darwin Núñez’s lay-off to allow Mohamed Salah to stroke home. Then, just four minutes later, Salah had a brace when he fired in from the spot following a Pascal Groß foul on Dominik Szoboszlai.
Liverpool then had a golden opportunity to establish a two-goal lead before the hour mark, but with the goal at his mercy, Ryan Gravenberch could only direct Szoboszlai’s cut-back onto the crossbar.
Brighton's penalty appeals were turned down, leaving De Zerbi angry on the touchline, but the hosts soon restored parity. Solly March's set-piece delivery was met by Lewis Dunk, who capitalized on Andrew Robertson's hesitation to set up a dramatic finish.
João Pedro skied a magnificent opportunity to claim all three points as ultimately, both sides were made to settle for a point
