Brighton 3-2 Liverpool - the fans' verdict
We asked for your thoughts after Monday's Premier League game between Brighton and Liverpool.Here are some of your comments:Brighton fansCallum: Huge performance! Everyone played their part. I think a really big shoutout should go to 17-year-old Harry Howell, who came on at a pretty nervy point of the game and held on remarkably, even nearly getting an assist. Fingers crossed results go our way for Europe.Glyn: Brajan Gruda grew into a special player. He will be immense next season.Oli: So impressive from that young midfield three of Yasin Ayari, Simon Adingra and Gruda over the past few weeks. Adingra looks revitalised after having a tough season. I think we are all very eager to see what they can produce next season especially if, fingers crossed, it's in Europe!Liverpool fansIan: I know we wrapped up the league two weeks ago, but this is getting embarrassing. Slot should realise people pay their hard-earned cash to watch games. We should be sending a message to the other teams by putting out the strongest team and beating these sides. I just hope the performance on Sunday is a much-improved one. I don't want it to spoil the celebrations with another defeat.Wayne: Below-par performance yet again, this is the worst team to have won the Premier League title. I would be very surprised if we even qualify for the Champions League next season.Shaun: Going off that game, we need seven or eight new players for next season. The back-up boys just aren't good enough. The past few games Harvey Elliott has played he has gone backwards, the same with Curtis Jones and Jarell Quansah. Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate also had mares.

Her 22 WTA titles to date have either been won on hard courts (12) or clay (10).Poland's four-time French Open and one-time US Open champion reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon in 2023 but has not gone beyond the fourth round in any of her other four appearances has appeared to turn a corner in Germany this week, recording her first victory over a top-10 player on grass by crushing last year's Wimbledon runner-up Jasmine Paolini of Italy 6-1 6-3 in the semi-finals."This tournament shows there is hope for me on grass," said Swiatek, who appeared to be on the verge of tears after her loss.

World number three Pegula, who won her third title of 2025, told Swiatek in her on-court interview: "I know you say you can't play on grass, but trust me you can still play pretty good on grass. Cut yourself some slack."Good luck for next week, I know it's a short turnaround for both of us."Swiatek faces Russian Polina Kudermetova in the first round of Wimbledon on Tuesday while Pegula is up against Italian Elisabetta Cocciaretto on the same day.A tough draw means Swiatek could take on former winner Elena Rybakina in the fourth round of Wimbledon and French Open champion Coco Gauff in the theory Pegula has a much kinder run, although she could face surprise Queen's Club champion Tatjana Maria in round two.
