Jurgen Klopp reveals dressing room message that sparked Liverpool comeback in Brighton win

Jurgen Klopp praised his Liverpool players' mentality after they fought back to beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 at Anfield on Easter Sunday.

The Reds fell behind to a Danny Welbeck goal inside two minutes but responded through Luis Diaz in the first period before Mohamed Salah's 22nd goal of the campaign in the second half secured the points in what was a hard-fought victory for Klopp's Premier League title challengers.

The victory means Liverpool have now earned 26 points from losing positions this term and Klopp was impressed with how his team managed to get back on to stable footing after a shock start at home, labelling it his side's best display in five matches against Roberto De Zerbi's Seagulls.

"It was, from my point of view, the best performance against Roberto's Brighton," Klopp said. "More possession, better possession, a really good rhythm in the game. OK, we lost the goal, we can lose the ball high up the pitch, doesn't you have to concede a goal but it was really well done [by Brighton], great finish.
