FA Cup: Liverpool 3 (Jones 42, Szoboszlai 56, Salah 68) Brighton 0When Mohamed Salah last faced Brighton at Anfield in December, there was uncertainty over whether he would be seen in a Liverpool shirt again. Salah produced a sublime assist, his fourth since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, and scored from the penalty spot as Liverpool condemned Brighton to a fourth defeat in five games. Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai, with a superb goal, and Salah capitalised in a commanding victory. The midfielder’s first goal of the season rewarded a dominant spell by Liverpool yet sparked an immediate response from Brighton. Fortune favoured Alisson early in the second half when his clearance struck the incoming Gómez and rebounded wide of the Liverpool goal.
