- World Soccer Today -

Brighton defeated Liverpool by a score of 3-0, which dealt a significant setback to Liverpool's hopes of finishing in the top four.

Liverpool's prospects of securing a top four finish in a challenging season took a major hit as Brighton secured a convincing victory on the south coast. 

Despite dominating the first half without scoring, Brighton deservedly took the lead early in the second half, with a goal from Solly March. 

Liverpool's defense was in disarray and six minutes later, March scored again. 

The final goal came from Danny Welbeck, who volleyed home after receiving a pass from March. 

This defeat follows a loss to Brentford and leaves Liverpool in 8th place, 7 points behind the top four and far from resembling the team that came close to winning multiple trophies last season.
