Liverpool became the latest high-profile club to exit the FA Cup as the defending champions conceded a goal in the second minute of stoppage time to lose 2-1 at Brighton in the fourth round on Sunday.
The Reds went ahead in the fourth-round tie courtesy of Harvey Elliott’s finish after half an hour of play, though that was quickly cancelled out by a Lewis Dunk deflection. Kaoru Mitoma then netted a winner in injury time for Brighton to eliminate the holders from the competition.
It’s only January but the Reds are out of the FA Cup and League Cup, ninth in the league and their only realistic chance of silverware this season is in the Champions League – where a last-16 matchup against Madrid awaits next month.
