Roberto de Zerbi says his Brighton side "have a dream" of qualifying for Europe as Solly March's double and a late Danny Welbeck strike condemned Liverpool to a heavy defeat at Amex Stadium.
March converted Kaoru Mitoma's low cross to give the home team a deserved lead, after the returning Alexis Mac Allister had intercepted Joel Matip's loose pass.
The winger then doubled the hosts' advantage with a fabulous left-footed strike from Evan Ferguson's through-ball.
Second-half substitute Welbeck capped a magnificent Brighton display with a superb finish past Alisson after flicking the ball over Joe Gomez.
"I have a fantastic team of fantastic players," said De Zerbi. "It is an honour to work with them.
"We have a target at the end of the season. Now we have to play another 20-21 games and we have to stay focused on those games.
"We want to work harder to achieve our target."
