Florian Wirtz helped create the opening goal, which was officially recorded as a Pascal Gross own goal after a deflection. Isak scored Liverpool’s second, making it six goals in six league appearances and scoring in three consecutive league games for the first time since January 2025. Brighton’s Yasin Ayari missed a clear chance and later hit the post, while manager Fabian Hürzeler said his side had missed an opportunity.
