The “five” in the Champions League was not enough to “wake up” Liverpool in the Premier League as well, after Brentford forced them into their 4th consecutive defeat, winning 3-2 in the “duel” between them at Griffin Park.
Brentford took the lead through Ouattara in just the 4th minute and doubled their tally through Sheid in the 25th minute, but Liverpool reduced the deficit through Kirkez in the final of the first half to inject new interest into the Premier League match. Although he had taken the momentum of the match, Slott’s team conceded a third goal with a penalty by Igor in the 60′ and needed an overtime to avoid another defeat in England.
Salah reduced it again in the 88th minute with a powerful shot from close range, but the home team “endured” until the end of the match and took an important “three points”, the fourth in 9 matches in the Premier League. Liverpool, on the other hand, is going through one of the worst periods in recent years and was left at 15 points and -4 from the leader Arsenal, having also played more matches.
