Despite the defeat Brighton were praised for their defending and closing Liverpool down.[7] On 5 January 2019 Bissouma scored his first Albion goal on his FA Cup debut in a 3-1 away win against south coast rivals Bournemouth in the third round.[8]

Bissouma's first game of the 2019–20 season came on 21 September away against Newcastle where he came on as a substitute in the 0–0 draw.[9]
