At first, Liverpool absorbed the onslaught of attack after falling behind, then turned the tide of aggression to book a 2-0 victory. They defeated Brighton & Hove Albion, returning to the path of victory in the Premier League under the helm of Jurgen Klopp.

With a 2-1 goal victory at Anfield on Sunday, Liverpool has now risen to the top of the league table.

After Daniel Welbeck's attempt to overtake was matched by Luis Diaz's equalizer, the goal-signaling goal in the second half was scored by Mohamed Salah.

Before the international football break, Liverpool drew 1-1 with Manchester City in the last round.

By combining all competitions at home, Klopp's team remained unbeaten in 32 matches.

Against Brighton, Liverpool took 30 shots, of which 8 were on target, while Brighton had 9 shots, 3 of which were on target.

Brighton took the lead just two minutes into the game, stunning the welcoming supporters. A shot from the right foot of the 33-year-old English forward, Welbeck, found the net after a tussle in the box.

In the sixth minute, Brighton's defender, Dan Burn, challenged Diogo Jota, resulting in a penalty appeal from Liverpool's players, which the referee did not grant.

In the ninth minute, Salah had an opportunity but his shot from inside the box went wide. Another shot from the Egyptian forward in the 20th minute also missed the target.

In the 27th minute, Liverpool equalized. Salah couldn't clear the corner kick, but a ball sent in by Diaz from the right found its way past their defender's foot.

In the 32nd minute, Salah had another chance. His shot from the left foot was saved by the goalkeeper. Five minutes later, Nunes' attempt from close range also failed.

Even in the second half, Liverpool maintained dominance in the attack. In the 66th minute, Salah put his team ahead. Controlling a pass from Alexis Mac Allister in the box, he sent a shot past the goalkeeper with his left foot.

With this, Salah now has 16 goals in 23 matches this season.

In the 71st minute, Salah found Diogo Jota in the box with a pass, but the linesman raised the offside flag. In the 75th minute, they created another chance in every attack. Salah's shot from inside the box was saved by the goalkeeper.

In the 81st minute, Kelleher made a fantastic save to maintain the lead. He denied Lewis Dunk's header from a free-kick.

Liverpool could have scored another goal in added time. Salah's shot was pushed wide by the Brighton goalkeeper.

With 20 wins and 7 draws in 29 matches, Liverpool now has 67 points.

Arsenal sits second with 64 points in 28 matches, while Manchester City is third with 63 points. These two teams will face each other in the next match.
