Gerrard warns Liverpool still lack defensive midfield anchor after 2-0 win

Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard said the side still requires a defensively-oriented midfield anchor despite the attacking options shown in the recent 2-0 victory over Brighton at Anfield. Liverpool secured the win with an own-goal by Pascal Gross and a strike from Alexander Isak, who recorded his third consecutive Premier League goal. The match also saw Brighton’s Florian Wirtz forced off after twisting his ankle, while Liverpool moved into fourth place in the league.
