Video Last-gasp Mitoma stunner knocks holders Liverpool out of FA Cup
Liverpool’s struggling season took another hit as they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Brighton’s 2-1 victory on Sunday.
Kaoru Mitoma’s stoppage time goal earned Brighton a place in the fifth round.
Despite Harvey Elliott’s goal, Liverpool has only won once in their last six games and are currently in 9th place in the Premier League, 21 points behind leaders Arsenal.
The FA Cup exit leaves only the Champions League as Liverpool’s chance for a trophy this season.
Manager Jurgen Klopp is searching for solutions after a second defeat to Brighton in 15 days.
Liverpool missed two big early chances from Mohamed Salah and had lucky escapes from Ibrahima Konate and Fabinho’s challenges.
Alisson made a great save from Mitoma’s cross, but couldn’t stop Mitoma’s late game-winning goal.
