A six-goal thriller ensured the Roberto De Zerbi era at Brighton got off to a pulsating start at Anfield on Saturday.

Leandro Trossard scored a sublime hat-trick to earn Brighton a share of the spoils with a superb performance, ensuring the soaring Seagulls remain in the top four.

The result condemned Liverpool to their fourth stalemate of a to-date underwhelming league campaign.

Trossard continued his excellent early season form, scoring twice inside the opening 20 minutes to give his side a two-goal advantage, before Roberto Firmino clawed the Reds back into the tie with two strikes of his own either side of the break.


Liverpool then completed the turnaround just past the hour when Trent Alexander-Arnold, who had been centre of attention pre-match, delivered a teasing corner which caused confusion inside the Brighton box as the ball inadvertently hit Adam Webster before rolling cautiously over the line.

But Albion were far from finished and got what their courageous performance deserved when substitute Kaoru Mitoma's cross somehow reached the far post, where Trossard was on hand to fire home in the 83rd minute — marking an entertaining start to the De Zerbi era at Brighton.

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi told Sky Sports:

"Trossard is a star. Before when he was in the national team, I sent him a message that he needed to score more goals.

"I believe he can do even better than today. I say this not because I am unhappy with his game today, but I consider him a great, great, player."
