Post-match comments from Fabian Hurzeler will have Liverpool fans scratching their heads

Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler claimed only one team tried to win following his side's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. Liverpool secured the victory via a Pascal Gross own goal and an Alexander Isak strike inside a five-minute first-half spell. Hurzeler praised Brighton's display and rued their missed chances, while acknowledging Liverpool's resolute defending.

The Empire of the Kop argues that Hurzeler's remarks were unfair, noting Liverpool's attacking threat in the first half alongside resolute defending from Ronald Araujo and Milos Kerkez. While Brighton dominated possession with 64 percent and generated a higher expected goals rating, the outlet contends the Reds deserved full credit for their hard-fought win.
