LIVERPOOL, England — A combination of goalkeeping errors and penalties earned Liverpool a return to the Premier League summit and Brighton a place in the FA Cup semifinals on Sunday. Pep Guardiola’s side has already won the English League Cup, is into the Champions League quarterfinals, and now knows it will play Brighton in the last four of the FA Cup. The score stayed 2-2 after extra time and Brighton won the penalty shootout 5-4 to reach the semifinals for the first time since 1983. In the other Premier League game on Sunday, Chelsea lost 2-0 at Everton and missed a chance to move level on points with fourth-placed Arsenal. The Senegal international made it 11 goals in his last 11 games by putting Liverpool ahead at Craven Cottage.
