Brighton vs Liverpool LIVE: FA Cup result and final score after Kauro Mitoma scores brilliant winning goal

Brighton maintain role as Liverpool’s bogey team with last-gasp winner:

Andy Robertson, Liverpool’s captain today: “We were a lot more competitive than we were against them two weeks ago, but that didn’t take a lot. At the end of the day, we’re out the Cup and that’s hard to take.”

Holders Liverpool were knocked out of the FA Cup after losing 2-1 at Brighton & Hove Albion in the fourth round on Sunday as Kaoru Mitoma struck the winning goal in stoppage time.

Harvey Elliott put Liverpool ahead, Lewis Dunk equalised before halftime and the score stayed at 1-1 until Mitoma found the net in the 92nd minute with a fine finish.

It was the second time Brighton defeated Liverpool this month, having also beaten Juergen Klopp’s side 3-0 in a Premier League game.

Liverpool’s teenage midfielder Elliott put them ahead in the 30th minute with a low shot into the far corner following a clever pass from Mohamed Salah.

Brighton equalised nine minutes later when Dunk got a flick on a long-range effort from Tariq Lamptey which deflected into the goal, with goalkeeper Alisson Becker wrong-footed.

Salah missed a good chance in the second half and so did Solly March for Brighton before Mitoma controlled the ball on the half volley before firing home a dramatic late winner.

Lewis Dunk admits he didn’t mean his deflected goal. On Mitoma: “I’m just glad I don’t have to chase him. He’s come out of nowhere and he’s a top player.”

Mitoma is a symbol of everything good about Brighton right now. The recruitment, the value, the ability to replace quality with even better quality. Bought for £2.5m, he must already be worth 10 times that, and climbing.

Brighton beat Liverpool once more, and knock out the FA Cup holders in the fourth round.

The composure of Mitoma in that moment, with the entire tie on the line, was just unreal. He is already one of the best wingers in the Premier League.

Kaoru Mitoma has done it!!! It’s a fabulous goal, controlling the ball at the back post beore flicking it away from a defender and steering it into the far corner. What a footballer.

88 min: I’m not quite sure why that wasn’t upgraded to red, but it wasn’t. Brighton can feel a little hard done by with decisions in this second half. Ferguson has had to be replaced, and he limps off.

87 min: The replay doesn’t look pretty: Fabinho’s studs scrape down the Achilles of Evan Ferguson, who is down getting treatment. An ugly tackle, that.
