The match
Referee Stuart Attwell did not initially award the penalty but after reviewing the foul by Andy Robertson on Danny Welbeck at the monitor, he gave the penalty.
Brighton had earlier missed a penalty in the first half as Neal Maupay hit the spot-kick wide from 12 yards.
Mohamed Salah then had a goal disallowed by VAR for a tight offside. It took until the hour mark for Liverpool to go ahead with Diogo Jota scoring his ninth goal for the club.
He received a pass from Salah and burst past two defenders before finding the bottom corner with a low shot.
Sadio Mane thought he had doubled Liverpool’s lead but like Salah, had a goal disallowed by VAR for straying offside.
The Seagulls then found a late leveller from the spot to snatch a point and remain 16th.
Liverpool are second, only behind Tottenham on goal difference.
