Suddenly, the tension was palpable. The atmosphere at Anfield was electric. But Liverpool, fueled by their desire to win, kept pushing.
The Decisive Goal
And then, in the 83rd minute, the Reds got their second. A sublime cross from Andy Robertson found Roberto Firmino in the box, who headed the ball powerfully past the Brighton keeper.
The rest of the game was a tense affair, but Liverpool held on to claim all three points. It was a hard-fought victory, and it showcased the Reds' resilience and determination.
The Importance of the Win
