And that showed the resilience and powers of reaction they are developing during their good run.
The Seagulls led through an early Danny Welbeck header but needed to defend well against a Liverpool side who had made a bright start.
It felt like a lot of good work had been thrown away when Milos Kerkez latched on to Lewis Dunk’s poor header to level.
But that shock seemed to inspire the home side to raise their game and ensure the skipper’s rare error was not costly.
Asked whether his side improved as a result of the nature of the Liverpool goal, head coach Hurzeler said: “I think it was a really good observation. I can confirm this
“What I mean is about managing key moments better.
“We stick to our principles, we stay calm, we didn't overreact.
“Of course, we know this was a very unlucky goal we concede but we were good in the game and then afterwards we were even better in the game.
“We created a better energy. We created chances and I think there was a prime example of managing key moments in the game.”
The back header to the keeper is something of a Dunk trademark and usually pays off.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot said he not told his players to look out for it but admitted Kerkez might have been aware of what Dunk was likely to do in that situation.
