With a clear win in Brentford, Liverpool FC extend their lead in the table for the time being, also thanks to the returnee Mohamed Salah. But bad luck with injuries clouds coach Jürgen Klopp’s joy.
Football coach Jürgen Klopp’s team clearly won 4-1 (1-0) against the Londoners and initially increased the gap to their pursuers Manchester City and Arsenal FC to five points. Both participants were in action later in the afternoon.
Darwin Núñez (35th minute), Alexis Mac Allister (55th), substitute Mohamed Salah (68th) – in the first game after his injury at the Africa Cup – and Cody Gakpo (86th) ensured the deserved victory Reds. ). On the Brentford side, Ivan Toney (75th) only briefly gave the hosts hope.
Jota was injured and Núñez was also substituted
Salah came on as a substitute shortly before half-time for Diogo Jota, who was injured in a challenge and was carried off the pitch on a stretcher. Núñez was also substituted at half-time, but why remained unclear at first. Klopp, who will leave the club at the end of the season, was more unlucky with injuries. In addition to Jota, Curtis Jones was also injured in attack and had to be substituted after just over half an hour.
Bitter for the frontrunner, who already had to do without two top performers in Brentford. Trent Alexander-Arnold was missing due to a knee problem. Goalkeeper Alisson was replaced by Caoimhín Kelleher due to a muscle injury he sustained in training.
