Brighton's Welbeck Shines in 2-1 Win Over Liverpool

In a Premier League match on a gloomy day for Liverpool, Brighton defeated them 2-1, significantly impacting Liverpool's hopes for a top-four finish. Danny Welbeck, a former Manchester United player, scored both goals for Brighton, marking his 12th goal of the season.

The match began poorly for Liverpool as Hugo Ekitike was injured just eight minutes in. Brighton took the lead in the 14th minute when Welbeck headed home a cross from Diego Gómez.

Liverpool equalized with a goal from Milo Kerkez after intercepting a blind back pass from Lewis Dunk. However, Brighton regained the lead when Welbeck scored again in the second half, poking the ball home from close range following a cross from Yankuba Minteh.

This defeat marked Liverpool's 10th in the league this season, leaving them winless in their last three matches and in 5th place with 49 points from 31 games.
