- In the inaugural match led by Hürzeler, Brighton emerges triumphant - Liverpool also clinches victory.
Fabian Hürzeler commenced his Premier League tenure as Brighton & Hove Albion boss with an initial triumph.

Liverpool triumphs in Klopp-less debut
Concurrently, Liverpool commenced their Klopp-less campaign with a triumph. Under new manager Arne Slot, the Reds beat Ipswich Town 2-0 (0:0). In the presence of pop star and Ipswich fan Ed Sheeran, Diogo Jota (60') and Mohamed Salah (65') scored for Liverpool, who have yet to acquire any new players during this transfer window.
In the somewhat unpredictable first half, Liverpool held the majority of the ball but exhibited a few errors and scant goal prospects. Debutants Ipswich, with new recruit Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City on the bench, displayed courage but struggled to pose a threat to Liverpool. Post-Jota and Salah's goals, Liverpool displayed a sense of relief and didn't allow any more scoring opportunities. Unfortunately, this did not meet the expectations of Sheeran, who has recently become a part-owner of the club.
The 57-year-old Klopp departed Liverpool in the summer, citing exhaustion. Liverpool subsequently appointed the 12-year-younger Slot as Klopp's successor. Slot had previously achieved numerous victories with Feyenoord Rotterdam, including the Dutch championship and the cup triumph.
