Liverpool secured a 2-0 win over Brighton at Anfield, with Hugo Ekitike grabbing both goals, including the fastest of the Premier League season just 46 seconds in. Mohamed Salah made an earlier-than-expected return to the squad following his midweek omission, adding energy and presence as Liverpool controlled large periods of the match. Ekitike’s opener came from a quick counter, and he doubled the lead in the second half after Salah’s clever involvement, sealing the victory.
