Andy Robertson rues half-time mistakes after Brighton “frustration”

Two up after 24 minutes thanks to goals from Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane, Jurgen Klopp’s side conceded one to a brilliant Enock Mwepu strike just before half-time and from that moment the direction of the game turned towards the visitors and remained with them for the rest of the match.

Unlike against Wednesday’s Champions League opponents Atletico Madrid two weeks ago when they bounced back from letting a 2-0 lead slip to win 3-2, Liverpool looked strangely out of sorts in the second half in direct contrast to the confidence they had played with for the opening 40 minutes.

“In the dressing room it feels like a defeat. Being 2-0 up and giving away a lead, it’s never nice,” he told LFCTV.
