Brighton stunned at Anfield and started 2-0 up, with Leandro Trossard scoring twice in the first half, but Liverpool did not give up. After several attacking attempts, Roberto Firmino's equaliser finally came after a VAR review to confirm there was no offside.

Liverpool did not give up in the match against Brighton, after trailing by two goals, and finally came the discount: Roberto Firmino scored and the VAR validated. The Reds, battered by the one-sided scoreline, pushed forward and generated a clear attacking chance: Jordan Henderson slipped a pass to Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian ran in behind Adam Webster and was one-on-one with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, but his shot was poor.

However, the ball ended up free, inside the box, for Roberto Firmino, who shot calmly. The Brazilian's joy was evident, but he was unable to celebrate as the assistant referee raised his flag and called 'Mo' offside beforehand. Immediately, the VAR reviewed the action, established the line and changed the decision, much to the delight of Liverpool fans.

The Sun reports on the specific situation of Roberto Firmino, who as we know is out of contract at the end of the season. The Brazilian was recently linked with FC Barcelona in a surprising swap deal with Memphis Depay.

The tabloid now explains that the 30-year-old Brazilian attacker, who has scored 3 goals and 3 assists in 8 games this season, will be offered for sale in the winter transfer window. The Merseyside outfit know that this is the last chance to cash in on him. The fact is that he has been gradually losing prominence in Jürgen Klopp's plans.

Firmino is thinking of not renewing with the Reds

That is why he is likely to be on the market in January, although there is still a long way to go before then. The attacker would thus have the possibility of looking for a way out after the World Cup (his role with Brazil could determine his future). And this would surely force the English squad to look for a successor when the market reopens at the beginning of 2023.
