Liverpool set an unwanted Premier League record in Monday’s Premier League defeat against Brighton.
Liverpool were defeated 3-2 by Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday night, continuing the Reds’ winless run since clinching the Premier League title.
Despite twice going ahead through Harvey Elliott and Dominik Szoboszlai, the Seagulls mounted a second-half fightback to score through Kaoru Mitoma and Jack Hinshelwood to clinch maximum points at the Reds' expense.
Liverpool’s post-Premier League title unwanted record
)
Arne Slot’s men failing to secure maximum points leaves the Merseyside club winless in three matches since their Premier League success on April 27.
Since defeating Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield, Liverpool have lost away games at Chelsea (3-1) and Brighton (2-2) as well as throwing away a two-goal advantage on home soil to draw with Arsenal.
Securing one point from a possible nine after winning the league means Liverpool have become the first champion in the Premier League era to go winless in three consecutive matches after claiming the top-flight crown.
The ongoing run has coincided with Mohamed Salah’s mini-drought, which has seen the forward neither score nor assist since that 5-1 triumph over Spurs last month, leaving him one shy of Andy Cole and Alan Shearer’s goal-involvement record of 47.
