Welbeck’s Brace Stuns Liverpool and Boosts Brighton’s Top-Four Push
Brighton shocked Liverpool at the American Express Stadium with a 2-1 win. Former United and Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck struck twice, cancelling out Milos Kerkez’s equaliser and moving the Seagulls within five points of their rivals for a Champions League spot. The match got off to a delayed start and Brighton took the lead when Ferdi Kadıoğlu’s cross found Welbeck, who finished clinically for his 11th Premier League goal. Liverpool responded before half-time as Milos Kerkez pounced on a defensive error to chip Bart Verbruggen and level the score. Brighton came out stronger after the break, with Welbeck netting again from Yankuba Minteh’s cross despite a lengthy VAR review. Liverpool struggled to create clear chances, leaving the hosts comfortable winners. Brighton rise to eighth, while Liverpool’s top-four hopes suffer a major blow.
