Liverpool suffered a home defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, according to the Premier League. The result leaves head coach Arne Slot seeking improvements before his squad travels to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Slot has overseen a period where the team has set several unwanted defensive records at Anfield.
Brighton secured the victory after Liverpool failed to capitalise on early possession. Per Sky Sports, the performance drew criticism regarding the lack of defensive cohesion shown by the home side. The result marks a significant setback for the Merseyside club as they attempt to maintain their position in the top four of the league table.
Slot told reporters that the team must find answers quickly to avoid a similar outcome in European competition. Liverpool currently sit behind league leaders Manchester City following this result, per The Guardian. The squad now prepares for a midweek fixture in France against the Ligue 1 champions.
