Mohamed Salah’s brace sandwiched a superb goal from Jordan Henderson as Liverpool beat Brighton and Hove Albion 3-1 on Wednesday night.
The Premier League champions surged into a two-goal lead inside the opening eight minutes at the Amex Stadium, courtesy of Salah’s clinical finish and Henderson’s fine strike from just outside the area.
Brighton responded well and halved the deficit in the last minute of the first half through Leandro Trossard, but Salah’s glancing header 14 minutes from time sealed a 30th top-flight victory of the season for the Reds.
