It is becoming a familiar feeling for Liverpool.
For the fifth time in seven Premier League games this season the Reds conceded the first goal on Saturday, on this occasion to an energetic and fearless Brighton side looking to impress their new boss Roberto de Zerbi.
After winning 16 of their 19 games in the second half of last season to finish just one point behind champions Manchester City, Jurgen Klopp's side are now finding their gameplans going out of the window before half-time.
Stirring fightbacks have got them out of holes in previous campaigns and this looked like being a throwback to one of those, but poor defending once again allowed the Seagulls in late on as the unmarked Leandro Trossard struck at the back post to snatch a 3-3 draw and complete his hat-trick.
