Once more, Liverpool failed to impress as they were defeated 2-3 at Brentford's home ground, even though Mohamed Salah managed a late goal to reduce the gap near the end.
From the very start, Brentford unsettled Liverpool's defense. In the 5th minute, from a long throw-in, the ball deflected off Dango Ouattara inside the 5-yard box and went straight into the net, giving the hosts a 1-0 lead. Liverpool tried to respond with a clear chance for Mohamed Salah, but his shot was saved by goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
At the 45th minute, Brentford doubled their lead when Kevin Schade received a perfect pass from Mikkel Damsgaard and finished accurately to make it 2-0. However, Liverpool managed to pull one back during first-half stoppage time. Milos Kerkez was in the right place to tap in a rebound, cutting the deficit to 1-2 going into the break.
Brentford took an early lead just 5 minutes in with a fortunate goal from Dango Ouattara.
In the second half, coach Arne Slot made three substitutions to refresh the tactics, but Liverpool’s defense continued to falter. In the 60th minute, after VAR review, the referee confirmed a foul by a Liverpool player inside the penalty area. Igor Thiago converted the penalty, restoring Brentford’s two-goal advantage at 3-1.
Liverpool’s late efforts only earned a consolation goal. In the 89th minute, Szoboszlai crossed to Mohamed Salah, who controlled the ball skillfully before shooting it against the crossbar and into the net, reducing the score to 2-3. Despite dominating in added time, the visitors could not produce a miracle.
Liverpool suffered their fourth defeat in the last five matches.
After the 2-3 loss, Liverpool continued their decline, dropping to 6th place with 15 points from 9 games. Brentford, with this victory, climbed to 10th with 13 points, further proving their strength at home.
