Behind-the-scenes footage revealed two Brighton players, Julio Enciso and Pervis Estupinan, waiting for Alexis Mac Allister in the tunnel following Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Brighton at Anfield.

Brighton had a promising start to Saturday's Premier League match with Ferdi Kadioglu scoring within the first 15 minutes.



However, Liverpool made an impressive comeback in the second half, with goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah just two minutes apart.

After the final whistle, the Liverpool players remained on the pitch to bask in the applause of their home crowd.

Among them was midfielder Mac Allister, who had been substituted in the 66th minute for Curtis Jones, just four minutes before Gakpo's equalising goal.

Mac Allister was seen embracing Enciso and swapping shirts with the Paraguayan, before hugging Ecuadorian defender Estupinan in a touching South American reunion, reports the Mirror.

Both Estupinan and Enciso joined Brighton at the beginning of the 2022/23 season.

They played alongside Mac Allister for one season before his outstanding performances at the 2022 World Cup led to a £35million transfer to Liverpool.

Mac Allister initially joined Brighton in January 2019, but was loaned back to Argentina until January 2020.

He became a key player for the Seagulls during the 2020/21 season, netting 20 goals in 112 appearances.

Since moving to Anfield, the attacking midfielder has made 61 appearances in all competitions.
