Brighton veteran Adam Lallana has been accused of being unprofessional after recent comments.

The veteran stated that he wants Liverpool to win the Premier League, prior to Brighton taking on the Reds.

Liverpool went on to win the game, in which Lallana missed a chance on goal, 2-1 to go top of the table.

I do call this my home, I have great fond memories here," he told Sky Sports before kick-off.

It's going be a huge challenge for us, the title race is really heating up. Of course, I'm desperate for Liverpool to win the league and go far in the other competitions.

I still think it's possible they lose one more game and still win the league, so that's what I'm aiming for today, unfortunately. We've got our own fight and want to make Europe again this season."
