FT: Liverpool 2-1 Brighton
Liverpool captain Virgil Van Dijk to Sky Sports: "I think over the last couple of years we've never had an easy game against them. It's always tough and you could see it in the first half. We didn't press well and were sloppy in possession. It was a well deserved 1-0 at the break.
"We had completely different energy after the break and got what we deserved I think."
On moving top of the Premier League: "It's too early to even make it important. We want to be on top of the league but we want to be there after the last match in May. The results have been good so far this season but there is a long way to go.
"It is still a work in progress. We stay humble and keep fighting."
On the injury to defensive partner Ibrahima Konate: "So many bodies around the ball and I think I headed him on his arm. Hopefully it is not too bad. We just have to see. You can be quite okay as player with an arm injury so hopefully he will be fine."
