Things seemed to be going smoothly for Liverpool against Brighton & Hove Albion, as Virgil van Dijk's brace had them 2-0 up at Anfield.

However, that changed in an instant, when Alisson came rushing out of his box in an attempt to get the ball, but ended up handling it when Leandro Trossard got there first.

Van Dijk's shout and Alisson's shake of the head once the red card was brandished offered an indication of just how detrimental it was.

Many Liverpool fans found themselves in dismay, wondering why their club can never just do things the easy way.

Not only would this make things difficult for them on the day, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain being substituted off, but it also means that the Brazilian will miss the Merseyside derby on Wednesday night.

Jurgen Klopp's side have now not kept a clean sheet in 12 games across all competitions, and one fan has suggested that it is an "obsession" with ending the record that led to this moment of madness.

However, not all fans were solely feeling disappointment, as they felt they were in safe hands with Adrian.

This didn't necessarily translate onto the pitch for that game, as his first action was picking the ball out of the net from a free-kick, while he also nearly cost a goal when he dropped the ball before clambering to retrieve it.

However, he has had a fairly good record before that game, playing 11 matches this season, conceding 13 goals and keeping two clean sheets, while making a penalty save in the Super Cup win.

This has meant that some fans are confident ahead of playing Everton despite having their number 1 unavailable.
