• 

  BRIGHTON RATINGS: Robert Sanchez 6 - Not a great deal to deal with as he watched his side nullify Liverpool’s attack. PA

• 

  Pervis Estupinan 8 - Excellent going forward, in particular with his link-up play with Mitoma. Overlapping runs helped create plenty of space for his side. Getty

• 

  Levi Colwill 8 - Unlucky not to pick up an assist with an excellent pass in the first half, and looked assured as he dealt with everything. Superb from the 19-year-old centre-back. AFP

• 

  Lewis Dunk 7 - Organised his side from the back well and was aggressive when challenging for duels. Reuters

• 

  Pascal Gross 7 - Kept Andy Robertson quiet on his flank while producing a number of impressive passes to help progress the ball into dangerous areas. Getty

• 

  Alexis Mac Allister 7 - Controlled the game and was able to beat Liverpool’s press with ease. Getty

• 

  Moises Caicedo 7 - Pressed aggressively from midfield and helped win the ball back in promising areas. AP

• 

  Kaoru Mitoma 9 - There was a feeling that something could happen every time Mitoma touched the ball, on a night where he was almost impossible to deal with. PA

• 

  Adam Lallana 7 - Looked bright in the No 10 role and often glided past Liverpool defenders with quick movement. Rarely made a wrong decision. AFP

• 

  Solly March 10 - Got his side up and running with the first, but his second goal of the evening was from the top drawer as he flashed a shot past Alisson. Picked up an assist for the third goal. Reuters

• 

  Evan Ferguson 7 - Battled hard against Konate and took up some promising positions. Could have got himself on the scoresheet with better finishing. EPA

• 

  LIVERPOOL RATINGS: Alisson 5 - Almost conceded a penalty in the first half. Simply simply too much to deal with. AP

• 

  Andy Robertson 5 - Anonymous going forward and struggled to win the battle on his flank. Getty

• 

  Ibrahima Konate 7 - In the search for positives, Liverpool can look to Ibrahima Konate, who was Jurgen Klopp’s best performer, dealing well with many of Brighton’s best attacks. PA

• 

  Joel Matip 6 - Had to do better for the first goal, but he did his best behind a non-existent midfield. Helped out Alexander-Arnold against the threat of Mitoma. AP

• 

  Trent Alexander-Arnold 6 - Endured a difficult battle with Mitoma, but did spark Liverpool’s attack, with two crosses that his team should have done more with. AP

• 

  Fabinho 4 - Rarely in the right positions to make an impact. Didn’t seem to have an answer to Brighton’s attack. AP

• 

  Thiago 5 - Normally the midfielder that can help get the game under control, but there was none of that at the Amex Stadium. Some good interventions helped break up the play. Getty

• 

  Jordan Henderson 4 - Slow to react and couldn’t make an impact at either end of the pitch. Booked for fouling Caicedo in the first half. AP

• 

  Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 5 - A poor header in the second half could have been the turning point, but couldn’t get the right connection. EPA

• 

  Cody Gakpo 4 - Has to be better with his final ball, though his service was extremely limited on the day. AP

• 

  Mohamed Salah 4 - Crowded out and failed to make an impact. Reuters

• 

  SUBS: Naby Keita (Oxlade-Chamberlain, 68) 6 - Pressed well but the game was already out of sight. AFP

• 

  Harvey Elliott (Fabinho, 69) 6 - Worked hard when introduced, much to his credit with Liverpool being 3-0 down. Getty

• 

  Ben Doak (Henderson, 69) 6 - Gave the ball away more often than he would have liked, but it was a hard match to come into for the 17-year-old winger. EPA

• 

  Joe Gomez (Matip, 69) 5 - Slow for the third goal where Danny Welbeck was able to flick the ball past him before striking home. Getty

Jurgen Klopp labelled Liverpool's dismal 3-0 defeat at Brighton on Saturday as the worst he has seen during his Anfield reign.

Klopp's troubled side were blown away in the second half by Solly March's double and a late strike from Danny Welbeck.

Liverpool's wretched performance came hot on the heels of a 3-1 loss at Brentford and an FA Cup draw against Wolves in which they were saved from defeat by a controversial VAR decision.

The Reds are languishing in eighth place in the Premier League with their hopes of a top-four finish fading by the week.

"Bad. Really bad. I can't remember a worse game. It was a very organised team against a not very organised team," Klopp said.

"Massively frustrated. We gave the ball away, the spaces were too big and we couldn't push up. That is obviously not good, especially against a super well-drilled side like Brighton. They got more confident and we did the opposite."
