Brighton and Liverpool traded defensive mistakes before settling for a 2-2 draw in the Premier League on Sunday in another setback for Jurgen Klopp’s team.

Lewis Dunk’s 78th-minute equaliser rescued a point for Brighton after Mohamed Salah had scored twice late in the first half to help Liverpool overcome an early defensive blunder. Liverpool had another disappointing finish a week after allowing a last-gasp winner in its controversial loss at Tottenham.

Klopp has called for a replay of that game after VAR failed to award his team a goal that had been wrongfully disallowed for offside and Liverpool finished the match with nine men and conceded a stoppage-time winner.

This time it was a mistake by Liverpool center back Virgil van Dijk that proved costly for the visitors. Van Dijk’s careless pass near his own area was intercepted by Simon Adingra in the 20th minute and the winger rolled the ball past the stranded Alisson Becker in the Liverpool goal from 25 yards out.
