Brighton dumped Liverpool out of the FA Cup thanks to a superb 92nd minute winner from Kaoru Mitoma as the Seagulls ran out and deservedly won 2-1 in the fourth round.
The Reds went ahead when Mo Salah carved through the heart of Brighton’s defense to find the smart run of Harvey Elliott, who smashed the ball under Jason Steele (30).
The hosts responded nine minutes later when Tariq Lamptey’s long-range effort was guided deliberately beyond the wrong-footed Allison by the boot of Lewis Dunk (39).
Jurgen Klopp then tried to force the issue midway through the second period, introducing James Milner, Jordan Henderson and Darwin Nunez, but Brighton held on, before striking the killer blow in second-half stoppage time.

Mitoma, who was outstanding on the evening, had threatened Allison’s goal on several occasions and was rewarded for his persistence in the embers of the game, shimmying through many players before rifling into the roof of the net (90+2).
