Neal Maupay blazed over an open goal as wasteful Brighton saw their winless streak stretch to eight Premier League games following a frustrating goalless draw with Leeds.

Recalled top scorer Maupay, back in Albion’s team after three substitute appearances, somehow squandered a golden opportunity with just eight minutes gone on a bitterly-cold evening at the Amex Stadium. Graham Potter’s Seagulls dominated the contest but, despite the best creative efforts of energetic star man Tariq Lamptey, failed to capitalise on a host of chances.

Lively Leandro Trossard and substitute Solly March each rattled the woodwork, while luckless Frenchman Maupay and Jakub Moder wasted further excellent openings. The Sussex stalemate was a sixth draw during Albion’s lengthy run without victory but was sufficient to move them up a place to eighth, above Manchester United. Lacklustre Leeds, who stay fourth bottom, have never won on this ground and rarely looked likely to end that run as their difficult season continued.

74 mins: Chance! Diogo Jota comes within inches of a hat-trick for Liverpool. Andy Robertson flies forward on the left wing and whips a cross into the middle of the box. Jota and Salah make runs through the lines but Jota gets to the ball with a lunge from the tip of the six-yard box. He can’t control the shot though and the ball spoons wide of the back post!

58 mins: Thiago Alcantara is taken off by Jurgen Klopp and receives a warm roud of applause from the Anfield faithful. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain comes on to replace him.

Liverpool 4 - 0 Southampton

55 mins: Liverpool can easily score another couple of goals if they’re in the mood. They’ve been dominant since the start of play. Mo Salah hasn’t scored yet and you know he’ll want to get in on the action.

Jota feeds the ball out to Mane on the left wing. He brings it inside and knocks it back to Jota. Jota sprints into the box but he’s beaten to the ball by Lyanco who gets it clear.
