Liverpool set remarkable, unprecedented record as Arne Slot adds another historic milestone in Brighton clash

Liverpool set a new milestone on Monday, May 19, during their Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium.

Manager Arne Slot made several changes to the starting lineup, leaving out regulars like Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson, and Luis Diaz. Their spots were taken by Jarell Quansah, Kostas Tsimikas, Conor Bradley, and Harvey Elliott. Despite the changes, Liverpool fans packed the away end and brought a festive energy to the south coast.

The Reds made a quick impact, with Harvey Elliott finding the net in the ninth minute after a well-timed assist from Bradley. That goal proved significant—it meant Liverpool had scored in every one of their 19 away league games this season, something no other Liverpool side had managed before.

Only nine teams in English football history have achieved this feat, and just four since the league shifted to a 20-team format. Arsenal and Manchester United both did it in the 2001/02 season, while Arsenal’s 1930/31 team scored in all 21 away fixtures.

Fans reacted swiftly on social media. “Unbelievable record,” one wrote. “One home game left—score there too and we’ve almost scored in every home match as well!” Another added, “Champions for a reason,” while someone else noted, “Nearly a clean sweep at Anfield too.”

Meanwhile, Arne Slot carved out his own piece of history, becoming the first Dutch manager to win the Premier League.
