Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory over Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday, extending their winning run to three matches in all competitions.
The Reds made a strong start at Anfield, scoring twice in the opening 25 minutes to put themselves in control of the encounter.
Florian Wirtz opened the scoring with an effort that took a deflection off Brighton midfielder Pascal Groß before finding the back of the net.
Liverpool doubled their advantage just minutes later when Alexander Isak converted a cross from Bradley Barcola, leaving Brighton with an uphill task.
The hosts maintained their dominance after the break, defending resolutely to prevent the visitors from mounting a comeback and securing all three points.
The victory came days after Liverpool produced an impressive 4-3 comeback win over Villarreal in the Champions League.
Alexis Mac Allister scored twice in that encounter, while Ronald Araujo and Wirtz also found the net.
Teenage winger Rio Ngumoha contributed two assists.
Liverpool had also defeated Brentford 2-1 in their previous Premier League fixture, with Isak scoring his fifth league goal of the season.
Brighton, meanwhile, struggled to reproduce the form that saw them thrash rivals Crystal Palace 5-0 in their previous league outing.
They had also played out a goalless draw against Jablonec in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday.
Fabian Hürzeler’s side had hoped to secure a positive result at Anfield to remain within touching distance of Manchester City and Arsenal in the league standings, but Liverpool’s early goals proved decisive.
