Reflecting on the performance, Klopp lauded his team’s resilience and attacking prowess, emphasizing the significance of Salah’s decisive goal in clinching the win against a formidable Brighton side.

Although we faced challenges defensively, we remained composed throughout the game.”
Regarding Salah’s decisive contribution, Klopp hailed the Egyptian forward’s goal as a moment of brilliance, praising Dominik Szoboszlai for his visionary assist and Salah’s clinical finish.
“The winning goal epitomized our creativity and quality,” Klopp stated. “Szoboszlai’s incredible pass found Salah, whose exquisite first touch and finish epitomized his class.
