Liverpool set a new club record against Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex on Monday (May 19).
Arne Slot left the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson and Luis Diaz on the bench for Monday’s Premier League clash against Brighton.
Jarell Quansah, Kostas Tsimikas, Conor Bradley and Harvey Elliott filled the void as a sea of red in the away end brought a party atmosphere to the south coast.
And things started well, as Elliott prodded home Bradley’s cut back just nine minutes in.
In doing so, the 22-year-old Fulham academy graduate set a never-before-done club record.
Elliott’s goal means the Reds have scored in all 19 of their Premier League away fixtures this season, something previous Liverpool sides have failed to do.
The feat has been achieved just nine times in English football, and only four times in a 20-team league.
In 2001/02, both Arsenal and Manchester United won all 19 away matches, with the Gunners’ 1930/31 side coming away as victors in all 21 of their away games.
Fans were quick to give their thoughts on social media.
One said: “Incredible record. And with just one home game left after this, they just need to score in that, then they’ve scored in almost every home game too!”
Another added: “Champions for a reason.”
A third commented: “And almost all of our home games.”
Of course, Slot has already achieved a record of his own this season by becoming the first Dutch head coach to win the Premier League.
