Brighton & Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton has praised his side's reaction to falling behind against Liverpool this afternoon, but admitted that it was a "poor goal" to concede.
The Seagulls fell to a gutsy defeat at Anfield courtesy of Mohamed Salah's 23rd-minute strike, which came after Yves Bissouma had been caught in possession deep inside his own half.
Brighton avoided any further damage and could have nicked a point late on when Pascal Gross saw his header saved by Alisson Becker, but Hughton was still pleased with his side's display despite coming away empty-handed.
"We conceded a very poor goal and you have to make sure you stick in the game," he told reporters in his post-match press conference.
"At that stage you can crumble a little bit, particularly here with the quality they've got, but we stuck in there.
"When you concede a goal like that, the disappointment can spread through the team and that can show, but I don't think it showed. We raised our game again."
Brighton will now turn their attention to an EFL Cup clash at home to Southampton on Tuesday night.
