Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Liverpool’s disastrous season suffered another blow on Sunday as the holders were dumped out the FA Cup by a 2-1 defeat at Brighton.<\/p>\n

Kaoru Mitoma’s brilliant control and finish in stoppage time earned the Seagulls a place in the fifth round.<\/p>\n

Liverpool had led at the Amex through Harvey Elliott, but have now won just once in their last six games.<\/p>\n

Lewis Dunk levelled before the break for Brighton and they were well worthy of the victory given to them by a moment of magic from Mitoma.<\/p>\n

The Japanese winger cushioned Pervis Estupinan’s cross into his path, flicked the ball over Joe Gomez and fired high past Alisson Becker in the 92nd minute.<\/p>\n

Liverpool are languishing in ninth in the Premier League, 21 points behind pacesetters Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Their FA Cup exit leaves the Champions League as their only remaining shot at a trophy this season.<\/p>\n

Last season Jurgen Klopp’s men were on the brink of a historic quadruple, which included their first FA Cup triumph in 16 years.<\/p>\n

But Klopp is still searching for answers to halt their decline after a second defeat on the south coast in 15 days.<\/p>\n

The German described Brighton’s 3-0 win when the sides last met as the worst performance of his managerial career.<\/p>\n

Liverpool did at least put up a fight this time and will rue two big early chances missed by Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\n

The Egyptian did at least have a hand in Liverpool’s goal as he released Elliott, whose strike had too much power for Steele to keep out.<\/p>\n

Brighton hit back within nine minutes when Tariq Lamptey’s powerful shot was deflected past the helpless Alisson by Dunk.<\/p>\n

The hosts were without Moises Caicedo after the Ecuadorian took to social media on Friday to try and force through a move to Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Brighton have already lost Leandro Trossard, who scored a hat-trick against Liverpool earlier in the season, to the Gunners this month.<\/p>\n

But those absences did not show as Liverpool were left riding their luck for most of the second period.<\/p>\n

Ibrahima Konate and Fabinho were extremely fortunate to escape red cards for challenges on Alexis Mac Allister and Evan Ferguson.<\/p>\n

Alisson threw himself in front of Solly March to make a brilliant save from Mitoma’s inventive cross and Konate did likewise to block from Ferguson.<\/p>\n

But Brighton’s pressure finally got its reward when Mitoma struck his fourth goal in six games.<\/p>\n
