On May 20, the 37th round of the Premier League kicked off on Monday. Liverpool, who had already won the championship in advance, challenged Brighton away. Although they once took a 2-1 lead, they were eventually reversed by their opponents 2-3. They had not won in three consecutive rounds (2 losses and 1 draw), and their form had obviously declined.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool took the lead in the 9th minute. Bradley broke through the bottom line on the right and sent a triangle pass back. Elliott decisively shot in front of the small penalty area and scored his first Premier League goal this season, helping the Reds lead 1-0 .

However, Brighton responded quickly in the 32nd minute. Gruda sent a precise pass and Ayari scored with a low shot, equalizing the score for the home team, and the game was tied at 1-1 . In the first half stoppage time, Elliott once again showed his creativity, sending a through ball to assist Soboslai to score, and Liverpool entered the second half with a 2-1 lead .

After the change of sides, the game became more intense. In the 65th minute, Brighton replaced Japanese international Kaoru Mitoma to strengthen the wing breakthrough. Just 4 minutes later, Kaoru Mitoma showed his combat effectiveness. He first assisted Welbeck with a diagonal pass. Although the first shot was saved by the Liverpool goalkeeper, Mitoma quickly followed up with a volley and scored, tying the score to 2-2 for the host team .

As the game drew to a close, Brighton continued to press. In the 85th minute, O'Reilly made a cross and Hinshelwood scored in the penalty area. Although the linesman immediately raised the flag to indicate that O'Reilly was offside, VAR intervened and determined that the goal was valid. The referee then confirmed that Brighton had overtaken. In the end, the home team reversed and defeated Liverpool 3-2 .

After this match, Brighton's points rose to 58 , ranking 8th , and they still have the possibility of qualifying for the European arena. Liverpool, on the other hand, remained at 83 points. Although they had already secured the league title, their form had obviously slipped after they reached the top, with only 1 point in the last three games, casting a shadow on the end of the season.

Liverpool coach Klopp said after the game that the team has shifted its focus from league results to adjusting its status and preparing for next season: " We hope to play with the right spirit in the last round and give the fans and the team a beautiful farewell match. "
