Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory over Brighton at Anfield, moving up to fourth in the Premier League table, according to EPL Index. Alexander Isak scored in the 21st minute, and Pascal Groß scored an own goal in the 17th minute. The win was Liverpool's first home Premier League victory of the season. Brighton remained third despite the loss.

The match saw Brighton start strongly, with Yasin Ayari having a chance to score, but his effort flew over the crossbar. Liverpool then took control, with Florian Wirtz's shot being diverted into the net by Groß for the first goal. Isak's second goal came after Bradley Barcola's cross, and he finished with a composed volley.

Despite trailing, Brighton continued to search for a response, and were given a chance when Alisson made an error, but Ayari's shot hit the post. Liverpool remained organised and protected their advantage, preventing Brighton from mounting a comeback. The win was a boost for Liverpool as they look to establish consistency in the Premier League.
