CHRIS HUGHTON believes Liverpool’s speed could give them the edge over Manchester City in the title race.

Mo Salah came to life after a quiet first half to win a decisive 50th-minute penalty.

And Brighton boss Hughton (right) believes the Reds have shown they can hit you where it hurts when you least expect it.

He said: “City are a very possession-based team. In Salah and Mane, Liverpool probably have more pace. I know [Leroy] Sane on the left-hand side is a real quick one for City, but Liverpool probably have a little bit more pace on the counter-attack.

“Man City have great guile and great awareness of holes and position. You only have to look at some of the goals they’ve scored.

“When a team can put nine past

Burton, it doesn’t matter which team you’re playing against, other teams are not going to do that.”
