Liverpool suffered their fourth Premier League defeat of the season after losing 3-2 at Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday night.
In what was the final away game of the season for Arne Slot's champions, Harvey Elliott's goal was cancelled out by Yasin Ayari's equaliser before Dominik Szoboszlai struck late in the first period.
Kaoru Mitoma made it 2-2 after arriving off the bench and it was left to Jack Hinshelwood to register the winner late on after a lengthy VAR check. Here's how the ECHO rated the players on the night.
Alisson Becker - 7
Couldn't do too much about Brighton's goals but made a stunning save to deny Welbeck's free kick in the second period before thwarting Gruda immediately after. Didn't deserve to be on the losing side.
Conor Bradley - 7
Did brilliantly for the opening goal, skipping past two challenges before laying it on a plate for Elliott. The right-back was a constant threat with his surges down the flank. Tired as the game wore on though and Mitoma punished him.
Ibrahima Konate - 6
Seemed to enjoy being the senior centre-back alongside Quansah, always dishing out the instructions to his colleague.
Jarell Quansah - 6
Steady enough from the defender on what is only his third Premier League start of the season. Always confident in possession and has been keen to get tough-tight on Welbeck. Unfortunate for the winning goal.
Kostas Tsimikas - 6
Did well to deny Welbeck a free header for what should have been an equaliser. Was unable to add much going forward.
Ryan Gravenberch - 6
Neat and tidy, as ever, and showed the odd flash of quality to evade his pursuers. Could perhaps progress the ball further up the pitch at times though.
Dominik Szoboszlai - 7
Seemed to revel in the deeper midfield role. Was a bundle of activity and energy throughout. Scored a stunning goal to give Liverpool the lead at half time.
Harvey Elliott - 7
Took his chance as the most advanced of the three midfielders, on target with his first Premier League goal of the season on only his second start. Was keen to occupy the spaces between the Brighton defence and midfield.
Mohamed Salah - 5
A subdued outing from the Egyptian and missed a gilt-edged chance in the second half from Gakpo's pass across the six-yard box. Verbruggen's reaction stop denied him a goal later on.
Cody Gakpo - 6
Was quiet out on the left flank and was unable to properly impact the game as he has done so often this season. Powerful surge in the second half deserved the finishing touch from Salah.
Federico Chiesa - 4
Struggled to get into things on his first Premier League start. Too often muscled out of things by Brighton's more powerful defenders. He will feel this chance passed him by.
SUBS:
Curtis Jones - 6
Did well when he came on and was involved throughout his second-half cameo. Did well to slow down a rampaging Mitoma late on.
Luis Diaz - 5
Was constantly threatening to create something off the left but found too many bodies in his way whenever promising situations developed.
Darwin Nunez - 4
Found it difficult to get into the game playing on the last shoulder of the Brighton defence. No real chances came his way.
Wataru Endo - 5
Brought on to keep Japan international colleague Mitoma quiet at right-back but found it tough against the brilliant Brighton winger.
