BRIGHTON RATINGS: Jason Steele 7: Solid display from Brighton’s second choice keeper who made some good saves to secure his side’s place in the quarter-finals. Reuters
Tariq Lamptey 7: Worked brilliantly with March when attacking down right side, and held his own well defensively. Getty
Adam Webster 5: Looked like he had not fully recovered from thigh strain that had ruled him out previously, and was taken off at half time. AFP
Lewis Dunk 8: On scoresheet after Lamptey’s long-range effort ricocheted off him to make things all square. Defensively sound and distributed well. Reuters
Pervis Estupinan 7: An athletic performance down left, comfortable playing it out from the back, and linked well with Mitoma. PA
Pascal Gross 6: Was frozen out of the game to begin with but much more involved in the second half. His late runs into the opposition box caused Liverpol problems. Getty
Alexis Mac Allister 8: A composed display from Argentinian in middle of park, kept things ticking for his side whilst coping well with Liverpool’s press. AFP
Solly March 8: Produced several enticing deliveries into the box and caused constant problems in one-on-one situations down the right wing. An impressive display. AP
Kaoru Mitoma 9: His usual dribbling trickery on the left caused constant problems. The hard work was rewarded with some outstanding control in the box to bury the late match winner into the roof of the net. AP
Danny Welbeck 7: Had fewer opportunities on goal than usual playing in a deeper role. Nonetheless, still caused the occasional problem for Liverpool. AP
Evan Ferguson 7: Used his physicality well with some intelligent hold-up play in attack. Almost opened the scoring early on but his close-range effort was blocked. Forced off injured after Fabinho's terrible tackle PA
SUBS: Joel Veltman (On for Webster 46') 7: Shored things up at the back after coming on and settled into the game quickly.
Billy Gilmour (On for Welbeck 67') 6: Added some energy into Brighton’s midfield.
Deniz Undav (On for Ferguson 89') N/A.
Jan Paul van Hecke (On for Lamptey 90+6') N/A. Reuters
LIVERPOOL RATINGS: Alisson Becker 6: Assured game from Brazilian, who couldn’t do anything about Brighton’s fortuitous opener. Produced strong stop against Solly March in second half to keep the score level, but couldn’t prevent Mitoma’s brilliant winner. PA
Trent Alexander-Arnold 6: Cleared a ball off the line to deny Ferguson and made a difference with his passing going forward. A tough test against Mitoma saw him enjoy less success in the duel than he did last time around. Looked far from happy at being substituted. AFP
Ibrahima Konate 8: Aggressive in the challenge and was equally as impressive when drawn out-wide to provide cover. Produced stellar block to deny Ferguson in the 80th minute. Another excellent display from big defender. Getty
Joe Gomez 7: Pace made a difference for Liverpool, with the 25-year-old quick to react to danger when balls were played in behind. Looked to have a strong understanding with Konate, but was skinned by Mitoma for winning goal. AFP
Andrew Robertson 5: Made crucial error when his poor tackle late-on presented free-kick to Brighton which would lead to winner. PA
Thiago Alcantara 5: Less influential than usual with passes going astray that the 31-year-old would normally get right. Well positioned during defensive transitions to help his team mates challenge the ball. Reuters
Stefan Bajcetic 6: Calm under pressure and often made the right decision, especially with his defensive contributions. Could have been better with some of decision-making when it came to distributing the ball. AP
Naby Keita 5: Pressed well in moments but too often gave away possession carelessly through a pass or a bad touch. Replaced just before the hour mark. AFP
Harvey Elliott 7: Created one of Liverpool’s best chances of the first half when playing through Salah, before finishing exquisitely to open the scoring himself. Worked hard despite playing in a position he is less comfortable in. Getty
Cody Gakpo 7: Looked bright in moments and showed confidence to run at players, with some of his best play coming when he dropped deeper from centre-forward to pick up the ball. A step in the right direction for the Netherlands international. Reuters
Mohamed Salah 7: Enjoying success down the right-flank and unlucky not to score early on. Produced precisely weighted pass for Elliott’s goal. Missed chance in first-half when through on goal that that you would expect Egyptian to score. Getty
SUBS: Darwin Nunez (On for Elliott 59') 5: Pressed well from the front and looked to create when cutting in on his stronger right foot. AFP
James Milner (On for Alexander-Arnold 59') 5: Provided support down right-flank for Salah. Stuck to task in difficult match-up against Mitoma. Reuters
Jordan Henderson (On for Keita 59') 5: Liverpool captain was loose with his passing at times, though he did help set the tone for an aggressive Liverpool midfield display in final part of game. Getty
