Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw against Brighton at the Amex Stadium, but they still went top of the Premier League table. 

Diogo Jota broke the deadlock in the second half with Mohamed Salah providing the assist. It was Jota’s ninth goal for the club since joining the Reds in the summer transfer window from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Salah also had a goal disallowed for offside by the video assistant referee. Sadio Mane appeared to have sealed the game with a late header for Liverpool, but it was also ruled out by the VAR officials.

For Brighton, Pascal Gross scored a controversial injury-time penalty, after  Neal Maupay fired a first-half spot-kick wide.

While it wasn’t a top-level performance from the Reds, one player who has particularly disappointed was Takumi Minamino.

The 25-year-old – who made his first Premier League start of the season – failed to seize the opportunity and hardly offered anything substantial.

Many Liverpool fans weren’t impressed with his performance and took to Twitter to express their reaction. Here are some of the selected tweets:

#lfc Explain to me this. How does a 34 year old Milner, Neco Williams who has been poor when his played, and a virtually invisable player in Minamino get into our 1st 11. Its ridiculous. Henderson and Mane were fit and available to start,League is tough need to take it seriously

Does anyone think minamino has a future at Liverpool #LFC

I feel for minamino, I'm not sure where he fits into this Liverpool team. He's lightweight on the ball, doesn't keep the ball well enough under pressure and the premier League just does not allow for the time and space he seems to need. #LFC

Salah should be pissed off to get subbed. Who wants players that aren't

Very poor from Williams and I am not sure Minamino will last at #LFC

Still top, even with all the injuries and a very incompetent VAR panel against us
