Liverpool surrendered a 2-0 lead as Brighton fought back valiantly at Anfield to rescue a well-earned point.
In keeping with their start to the season, Liverpool began the contest with a spring in their step. It took only three minutes for Jordan Henderson to sweep the hosts in front, meeting Mohamed Salah's pull-back to reverse his strike into the far corner.
Brighton went close soon after when Yves Bissouma - making his first Premier League appearance since September 19 - struck the post with an effort from range.
However, Liverpool doubled their advantage in the 23rd minute. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - who replaced the injured Naby Keita - curled an inviting cross into Sadio Mane who powered his header beyond Robert Sanchez.
Brighton then reduced the arrears five minutes before the interval when Enock Mwepu curled an audacious over Alisson from 25 yards after Adam Lallana had teed him up.
