Liverpool beat Brighton 2-0 for first home league win
What's new: Alexander Isak scored in a sixth straight Premier League game as Brighton's four-match winning streak ended.
Liverpool beat Brighton 2-0 at Anfield on Sunday to secure their first home Premier League win of the season and halt the visitors' four-game league winning run. The breakthrough came when Florian Wirtz's effort was deflected in off Pascal Gross after Liverpool forced the ball back into the box. Alexander Isak then doubled the lead, scoring for the sixth time in his last six league appearances. Brighton threatened through Yasin Ayari, who missed an early chance and later hit the post, but Liverpool protected their advantage well. The result underlined Liverpool's sharp start and ended Brighton's recent run of wins and clean sheets.
