"Liverpool appeared to have arrested their recent slump in midweek when they thrashed Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 in the Champions League. However, Arne Slot's men were once again well below their best at the Gtech Community Stadium, and goals from Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade gave Brentford a richly deserved 2-0 lead. Milos Kerkez controversially pulled one back for the visitors in first-half stoppage time, but a contentious penalty from Igor Thiago gave Brentford control again on the hour mark."
"Much has been made of Liverpool's struggles dealing with direct football from their opponents, and those problems reared their head in the fifth minute. Kayode's throw came in with pace and radar-like precision, and Kristoffer Ajer flicked into the path of Ouattara to acrobatically turn home. Liverpool had a gilt-edged chance to level in the 20th minute but Florian Wirtz, yet to register a goal involvement in the Premier League, lashed narrowly wide of the left-hand post."
Brentford beat Liverpool 3-2 at the Gtech Community Stadium, handing Liverpool a fourth consecutive defeat and moving Brentford into the Premier League's top half. Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade put Brentford 2-0 up early, with Milos Kerkez controversially pulling one back in first-half stoppage time. Igor Thiago converted a contentious penalty on the hour to restore Brentford's lead. Mohamed Salah scored a stunning strike to set up a tense finish, but Brentford held on. Liverpool dropped to sixth, and a win for Arsenal would leave Liverpool seven points behind in the title race.
