Brighton & Hove Albion defeated Liverpool FC 2-1 in a Premier League match played on March 21, 2026, at the Amex Stadium.
Danny Welbeck scored both goals for Brighton, delivering a decisive performance that secured all three points for the home side.
Brighton took the lead in the first half, with Welbeck finding the net after a well-worked attacking move that exposed Liverpool’s defensive line.
Liverpool responded before halftime, equalising through Milos Kerkez, who capitalised on a defensive lapse to bring the visitors level.
The game experienced a delayed kickoff due to travel disruptions affecting Liverpool supporters, resulting in a later-than-scheduled start at the Amex Stadium.
Liverpool suffered an early setback when Hugo Ekitike was forced off with an injury in the opening minutes, prompting an early tactical adjustment.
Brighton restored their lead in the second half, with Welbeck scoring his second goal of the match, a strike that was confirmed following a VAR review.
Liverpool pushed for an equaliser in the closing stages but struggled to create clear scoring opportunities against Brighton’s organized defense.
The result strengthens Brighton’s position in the league standings, while Liverpool’s defeat dents their momentum in the race for European qualification.
