Liverpool FC fell 3-2 to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, marking their fourth consecutive defeat in the Premier League and confirming a crisis-ridden start to the domestic season. Despite having made a comeback midweek in the Champions League, the “Reds” once again showed defensive frailty.
Brentford took the initiative early with a goal from Dango Ouattara in the 4th minute. The surprise grew just before halftime, when Kevin Schade scored the 2-0 in the 44th minute after a lethal counterattack. However, Milos Kerkez managed to pull one back in stoppage time at 45’+4, giving Liverpool hope (2-1).
The second half brought the final blow for Arne Slot’s side. A penalty converted by Igor Thiago in the 62nd minute made it 3-1, once again punishing Liverpool’s defensive mistakes. Although Mohamed Salah managed to close the gap in the 88th minute (3-2), the goal came too late to avoid disaster.
The result is a hard blow for Liverpool, who have now suffered four straight league defeats and have fallen behind in the race for the top spots. In contrast, Brentford celebrate a prestigious victory that allows them to climb the table and reach thirteen points.
