Liverpool moved to the top of Premier League table despite conceding a late penalty in a 1-1 draw against Brighton at AMEX Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Neil Maupay missed a penalty in the first half after Neco Williams brought down Aaron Connolly, while Mohamed Sallah had a goal ruled out for offside afterwards.
Diogo Jota gave Liverpool the lead with a fine finish on the hour mark.
The forward danced past two challenges before finding the back of the net, his eighth strike in eight Liverpool games.

Brighton sit 16th with 10 points from 10 games.
