Liverpool v Brighton ratings: Jones 3, Jota 5; Trossard 8, Lallana 7

Liverpool stunned after visitors fight back to earn a share of the points

LIVERPOOL RATINGS: Alisson Becker - 8: The Brazilian made a clutch of saves that kept his team in the game. He was one of the better performers on a flat day for Liverpool. Getty

Trent Alexander-Arnold - 5: This was not the 22-year-old’s finest performance. He lacked quality going forward and Cucurella exploited the space behind him. Getty

Ibrahima Konate - 5: The Frenchman looked uncertain on and off the ball. He showed a tendency to be sucked out of position. Getty

Virgil van Dijk - 6: The Dutchman was the most composed of Liverpool’s defence. He was engaged in a compelling tussle with Trossard. AP

Andrew Robertson - 5: An uninspiring effort by the Scot. His runs forward were limited and he had his hands full defending. AFP

Jordan Henderson - 5: The captain started superbly with a fine opening goal but failed to set the tempo in midfield. He was left stranded as Brighton zipped the ball around him. EPA

Curtis Jones - 3: Nothing was working for the 20-year-old. He was not allowed to run with the ball and his passing was suspect. He was replaced by Minamino with three minutes to go. Getty

Naby Keita - 6: The 26-year-old is in a fine run of form but injury keeps intervening to stop him living up to his potential. This time he lasted just 20 minutes before being replaced by Oxlade-Chamberlain. Another tantalising, frustrating glimpse of what he has to offer. Getty

Mohamed Salah - 6: The Egyptian created the opening goal and oozed danger on the ball but was left isolated for most of the second half. His disallowed goal meant his 10-game scoring run came to an end. EPA

Roberto Firmino - 6: The Brazilian skied a chance that should have been a certain goal and his shooting lacked direction. He was withdrawn for Jota in the 78th minute. Getty

Sadio Mane - 7 The Senegalese scored with an excellent header and was unfortunate to have another disallowed for handball when he pressed Sanchez near the goal-line. He never stopped working. EPA

SUBS: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - 5: The Englishman was called from the bench early when Keita limped off in the 20th minute. He sent in the cross for Mane to score but was anonymous in the second half. AP

Diogo Jota - 5: The Portuguese came on for Firmino with three minutes to go. He was unable to have much impact on the game. Reuters

Takumi Minamino - 4: The Japanese made his first league appearance this season when replacing Jones in the 87th minute. His only contribution was a booking for a poor challenge. AP

BRIGHTON RATINGS: Robert Sanchez - 6: The Spaniard was very lucky to get away with a disallowed goal when he dawdled on the ball close to his line. His pinpoint pass started the move that led to the equaliser. AFP

Joel Veltman - 7: The Dutchman needed to be watchful against Mane but put in a strong defensive display. He showed little ambition to go forward and focused on his main job. AP

Shane Duffy - 6: The Irishman got caught under the ball for the second goal but made some big blocks and stops. He got more comfortable as the game went on. AP

Lewis Dunk - 7: The centre back made a great sliding block but seconds later made a daft back pass that almost gifted a goal to Liverpool. He stood strong and held Brighton’s defence together. Reuters

Marc Cucurella - 7: The 23-year-old was given a torrid time defensively in the opening stages but he improved steadily. He became more of an attacking factor in the second half. AP

Adam Lallana - 7: The former Liverpool winger missed a golden opportunity to level the scores in the second half. He made up for it by playing in Trossard for the equaliser. He was replaced by Gross with 14 minutes left. Getty

Yves Bissouma - 7: The Malian troubled the defence with his direct running and was unfortunate to hit the post. He was replaced by Mac Allister on the hour. PA

Enock Mwepu - 7: The Zambian chipped in an exquisite goal and worried the defence throughout. His movement was excellent but his passing needs to be sharper. EPA

Jakub Moder - 6: The Pole started wide but drifted inside to join the midfield battle. He did not contribute much production going forward except for a shot that went wide from outside the box. He came off for Lamptey with 24 minutes left. Getty

Solly March - 6: The 27-year-old should have put his team ahead early on but shot straight at the goalkeeper. He caused danger when he ran with the ball. PA

Leandro Trossard - 8: The Belgian opened up Liverpool early with a wonderful pass but March wasted the chance. When he got an opportunity himself in the second half, he took it with aplomb and levelled the scores. PA

SUBS - Alexis Mac Allister - 7: The Argentinian joined the action in the 60th minute at the expense of Bissouma and ensured there was no dropoff in Brighton’s building pressure. PA

Tariq Lamptey - 7: The 21-year-old replaced Moder in the 66th minute and almost set up the winner for Trossard with a strong run and astute pass but the Belgian was fractionally offside. Getty

Pascal Gross – 6: The German came on for Lallana with 14 minutes to go and slotted in neatly to help maintain Brighton's control of the game. AFP

Brighton fought back from two goals down to earn a surprise 2-2 Premier League draw at Liverpool.

Enock Mwepu and Leandro Trossard spoiled what would have been a perfect week for the Merseyside club following their 5-0 drubbing of Manchester United last Sunday and Wednesday's 2-0 League Cup win at Preston.

Liverpool looked set to march on after goals from Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane put them in control by the 24th minute.

But the visitors pulled one back in the 41st minute out of the blue as Zambian midfielder Mwepu scored his first Premier League goal with a delightful long-range effort that sailed over Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

Brighton gained the upper hand after the break and drew level in the 65th minute when Trossard sidestepped his marker and drove a low shot past Alisson.

The end-to-end action at Anfield saw three goals ruled out after VAR checks, as Mane had one chalked off for handball and Salah another for offside, while Trossard also saw his effort scrapped for offside at the other end.
