The Reds made the trip to the south coast having suffered consecutive defeats to Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers in their last two outings, but responded to those setbacks with a gritty 1-0 victory on Saturday.
A penalty won and converted by Mohamed Salah in the early stages of the second half proved decisive at the Amex Stadium, and Jürgen Klopp’s side now sit seven points clear at the top of the Premier League with Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur still to play in this round of fixtures.
And Alexander-Arnold explained post-match that Liverpool’s recent dip made their win over the Seagulls all the sweeter.
