Having a mess of a defence and providing virtually little up front, except from one excellent opportunity that Darwin Nunez missed, Liverpool trudges off for halftime with a two-goal deficit. Unintentionally allowing the ball to ricochet off his shin and beyond his own goalie at a corner, Brentford’s Ibrahima Konate scored the opening goal. Yoane Wissa of Brentford had two additional “goals” rightfully disallowed for offside, but he never gave up. Instead of letting his head fall, he used it to guide the ball past Alisson and score a deserving goal on the third attempt.

Shortly after the break, Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain gave Jurgen Klopp’s team a chance to respond, but Brentford responded with a third goal from Bryan Mbeumo, giving them a historic victory and moving them up to seventh place in the standings with 26 points from 18 games. In contrast, Liverpool finished the day in sixth place, two points ahead of Brentford, but 15 points behind Arsenal, who had taken the lead in the Premier League.
