Liverpool have moved above Swansea into 7th after a 5-0 win over a weak Swansea side.

Swansea's last game before the Capital One Cup final next Sunday ended in a 5-0 Whitewash. Swansea manager Michael Laudrup says he is partly to blame for the defeat after making seven changes to the side that beat QPR 4-1 last weekend.

The game was dominated by Liverpool from the first minute, they had penalty claims turned down before one was won by Luis Suarez after he was fouled in the box, Steven Gerrard stood up to take it and scored it to make it 1-0 to Liverpool. Liverpool had more chances before half time but Vorm kept the score 1-0 at half time.

After 16 seconds of the second half Liverpool were 2-0 up when Philippe Coutinho worked his way though the Swansea defence and then took on the shot and it found a way past Michel Vorm in the Swansea goal

The 2018/19 has now come to and end and Brighton finished in 17th place. I believe that if you had offered that to them most Brighton fans would have accepted a third successive season of Premier League football. Add onto that, The Seagulls also made the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Chris Hughton has paid the price for Brighton's poor form in 2019. This decision however, seems extremely harsh. Here is his overall record in charge of the club. Games: 215 Wins: 88 Draws: 57 Defeats: 70 That works out to a win percentage of around 40% that is not bad for a team that's budget is pennies compared to some in the Premier League. Brighton staying in the top flight is an achievement in its self and something that should not be looked over. Hughton took over at Brighton back in 2014 when the club was struggling at the bottom of t...
