Brighton vs Liverpool LIVE: FA Cup result and final score after Kauro Mitoma scores brilliant winning goal

Kaoru Mitoma scored a wonderful goal in added time to earn Brighton their second win over Liverpool in a matter of weeks and knock out the FA Cup holders

Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool have to 'play better football' after Brighton defeat

Brighton beat Liverpool at the Amex to knock out the FA Cup holders after Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma scored a brilliant late winner.

Harvey Elliott had put Liverpool in front before Brighton equalised with a stroke of fortune when Tariq Lamptey’s shot was deflected home by Lewis Dunk, making it level at the break following an entertaining first half.

Both sides created chances to win it in the second period but it was Mitoma who finally delivered the quality required, taking a calm touch before flicking the ball away from a defender and steering it into the far corner past Alisson to spark bedlam at the Amex and send Brighton into the fifth-round draw.

Brighton 1-1 Liverpool

86 min: Fabinho’s first action is to chop down Ferguson, and he’s booked. The Var is checking it’s not a red card...

Brighton 1-1 Liverpool

83 min: Konate bumps Mac Allister to the floor as the Argentinian World Cup winner was chasing a ball played through on goal. The Amex roars for a foul, which would surely then be a red card for denying a goalscoring opportunity, but nothing doing. The replay suggests the referee got that one wrong, because Mac Allister got himself between defender and ball before the challenge was made. He’s down receiving treatement but seems to be OK.

Brighton 1-1 Liverpool

80 min: Ten minutes plus added time for someone to grab a winner and prevent this going back to Anfield, but chances are a little thin on the ground right now. Ferguson gets a sight of goal after excellent work by March down the right, but his effort is well blocked by Konate.

73 min: Nunez shimmies inside on to his right foot but his pass to Gakpo in the box is misplaced.

Brighton 1-1 Liverpool

70 min: Great save by Alisson, dashing off his line to deny March from close range after Mitoma’s teasing cross.

68 min: It’s been a quiet few minutes, a lull in the game.

Brighton 1-1 Liverpool

62 min: Konate is booked for a mistimed tackle on Ferguson. At the other end, Dunk grabs hold of the shirt of Cody Gakpo and drags him to the floor to kill a counter-attack. Also a yellow card. Very much filed under ‘taking one for the team’.
