What a game at Anfield. Brighton went two-up before Liverpool staged an almighty comeback. But it was Leandro Trossard who was the hero as he completed a hat-trick in the closing stages of the game.
Liveroool came from two down to lead 3-2 on Saturday afternoon as Roberto Firmino’s double was supplemented by an Adam Webster own goal, but Leandro Trossard completed his hat-trick with seven minutes left to secure a point for the visitors.
Trossard scored twice inside the opening 17 minutes to give Roberto De Zerbi’s side a healthy early advantage, but Firmino made it 2-1 at the break.
Firmino’s second of the game restored parity quickly after half-time and it appeared that the hosts had managed a remarkable turnaround when Trent Alexander-Arnold’s corner bounced in off Webster.
But late frustration was to follow when Trossard fired home his third at the Kop end.
Leandro Trossard has become just the third opposing player to score a Premier League hat-trick at Anfield, after Peter Ndlovu and Andrey Arshavin.
Brighton hat-trick hero Leandro Trossard said,”We are happy with the result but it would’ve been nice to claim the three points. We could’ve scored more I think, you always want more especially if you’re 2-0 up. It’s a good performance from us.”
