Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold was happy to snap their form slump with victory at Brighton.
A penalty won and converted by Mohamed Salah in the early stages of the second half proved decisive at the Amex Stadium, and Jürgen Klopp's side now sit seven points clear at the top of the Premier League with Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur still to play in this round of fixtures.
"No matter what every game is important for us, but especially this game," the right-back told Liverpoolfc.com.
“We knew we needed a win to get the momentum back and show that we are a really top-quality side and that's what we've done, especially as it's a tough place to come.
“I think everyone in the league would agree that this is one of the toughest places to play, with good fans and a good solid team who are hard to break down. We found it difficult even at Anfield to score goals against them. We got a 1-0 win there and are happy to get the 1-0 win here as well.
“Questions were probably asked about our mentality and how we would bounce back from a [Premier League] defeat because we hadn't experienced it so far [this season], and I think it was important for us to show everyone that we are a top-quality side and to bounce back and get the win.
“Like I said, everyone knew how hard it was to come here and try and take points from Brighton so we've done it excellently and we will look forward to next week now."
