EPL results: Brighton 0-2 Liverpool: Diaz, Salah score

Liverpool defeated Brighton 2-0 on Saturday in the week 28 of the Premier League leaders to close back to within three points on the table.

Luis Diaz bravely headed Liverpool into a 19th-minute lead by getting in front of Robert Sanchez, who was perhaps fortunate to avoid any action for clattering into the forward.

Mohamed Salah added a second from the penalty spot – Liverpool’s 2,000th goal in the competition – to increase the pressure on City ahead of Monday’s trip to Crystal Palace
