For the final time this season the Albions step out at the Amex and they do so alone
to form a guard of honour for the newly crowned champions Liverpool.
Here come Liverpool early on though. Gappo wide left, Gappo cuts in field, good run as well,
curling wide, just wide. Gappo has scored in both fixtures versus the Albion this season
and he was almost at it again inside the first minute.
Well won by van Gekker, too strong for Chiesa. Gruda, Gruda still going, Gruda goes down
and looks at the referee who says no. And now Liverpool on the break with Salah,
Estepina galloping back to try and make ground at him. Salah infield, Salah straight at the Brugge.
Now Brian Gruda, he wants a review here. You can actually see the touch on that replay.
Sivoslai pings it out to the right and it's cushioned beautifully into the path of Bradley
and Bradley beyond Odingra, can he pick out a teammate? Brilliant from Bradley, 1-0 Liverpool.
Absolutely devastating. Harvey Elliott sliding in, the simplest of finishes,
pinged out to the right hand side. Salah first touch into the path of Bradley,
still had plenty to do the full back but he did it superbly. Ghosting pass too
and picking out exactly the right pass for Harvey Elliott. And there was no mistake
from the young midfielder sliding in and Liverpool take the lead at the Amex.
Drops for Chiesa, Chiesa with time and space and it's wide by Bradley.
Goal gaping, Connor Bradley had the goal at his mercy there and he's missed it. Plenty of space
in front of the German, Gruda drives forward, he thinks about the best course of action and that's
to find Odingra, Welbeck's out there and Welbeck wide. Big chance for Danny Welbeck, he loves the
goal against Liverpool and he missed the target there. Welbeck, Gruda over the top great ball
as well, Iari in, brilliant, brilliant finish. Yes in, Iari sneaking in behind to equalise for the
Albion. A cool head was required and Yassine Iari certainly had that, no rush, no panic, he didn't
try and smash it, just made sure he had it under control and guides it beyond Alisson.
Unsaveable for him and Albion are back on terms. Muted reaction from Fabian Hertzler, not so
from the Albion fans who rejoice. Yassine Iari at it again, a big goal. Well he won't be worried,
first season in the Premier League and he's won it but he won't be delighted with some of the
defending on display. Stepinien with the obstruction, Iliot too, Zboczlai and Zboczlai, remarkable.
Liverpool restore their lead right at the end of the first half.
He had too much time and space but I'm not sure how he picks that out.
Over the head of Obruggen and it's sailed into the corner,
not on a slot, there's the reaction, he can't believe it either. On the way to Odingra,
Odingra infield to Stepinien and Stepinien fouled by Gravenberch, Stepinien getting the better
of the Liverpool midfielder and this is a really dangerous position. Who will it be,
Welbeck or Gruda? It'll be Welbeck and palmed away by Alisson. He gets right and it's a strong save
from the Brazilian, Dani Welbeck knew that was heading in, he caught it sweetly and with power.
Good save from Alisson to deny him. Gakpo, beyond his man, Gakpo, Gakpo across Salah, why?
Oh you don't see that too often, Mohamed Salah with the goal at his mercy, misses.
An open goal really, what a passage of play from one end to the other. You thought Liverpool were
about to take a two goal lead and Mo Salah does that. Stepinien onto it, Welbeck, options ahead
of him. Stepinien again, Stepinien cuts it back, Gruda leaves it for Welbeck, brilliant, great
stop from Alisson. Scintillating from the Seagulls but the save was superb. So clever from Gruda
to create the space but Welbeck needed to put it either side and only found Alisson.
He knows it, Dani Welbeck knows it. Liverpool going to strike another blow here, there's still
Mike, drops for Gakpo and he caught that but luckily for Brighton it was over the top.
Will Webster get there? Yes he will, just but it still falls for Salah, round the corner for Nunez,
Bradley, still Bradley, still Liverpool, Salah for Bruggen with a wonderful save.
Took an age to clear but Bruggen with the heroics in the end.
Iari clever into Boliba and Boliba drives forward into the space available to him, still going Carlos
Boliba, now he offloads it to Mitoma, Stepinien's on the overlap, he squeezed it through, Welbeck,
Alisson with the save, Mitoma! Kaoru Mitoma does the damage.
Off the bench, instant impact, Brighton back level. It was his vision that spotted the pass
that opened up the Liverpool defence and then he followed up once Alisson had made yet another save
to ram it beyond the Brazilian and force Brighton level. Brilliant from Mitoma,
wonderful for Brighton, they are back on terms with the champions.
Well that goal means the world to Brighton. Risky from Boliba but it worked, Iari scrapping for
everything, Bruda lovely over the top, outside of the boot for Minte. FIFA gets forward,
great run from him, he goes down, Andrew Madley says no. FIFA's energy from fullback.
There's a couple of tugs at the shirt but not sure it's going to be enough
and there's a massive, massive moment coming up for 17-year-old Harry Howe making his Albion debut.
Mitoma with such a good flick and it's insured and now it's O'Reilly, he's got Howe up there,
Howe makes the run but it's dropped to Mitoma, move still alive for Brighton. Mitoma
O'Reilly, O'Reilly across and at the back post, they've scored. Brighton think they've scored
but the flag is raised, Hinshelwood straight off the bench to be the hero and is chalked off.
They're going to check it, Mitoma was waiting, that looks incredibly close but looks on side.
Andrew Madley just calming the players down, when I know you'll know might be the message from him.
Jack Hinshelwood still doesn't know. Straight off the bench, the hero for the Seagulls,
they lead the champions for the first time. Remarkable in a season filled with moments
of incredible drama, Brighton have produced another in the final minutes of the final
Premier League game of the season at the Amex. O'Reilly teeing up Jack Hinshelwood and it's
Brighton 3 Liverpool 2. They are not giving up on that European dream just yet and that's when he knew.
