Liverpool lost on the Brentford pitch (3-1) at the start of matchday 19 of the Premier League on Monday, missing out on a chance to temporarily secure fifth place in the league at Tottenham.
Threatening on the counterattack, Brentford finally found the net with the help of Reds centre-back Ibrahima Konaté (csc, 19th), who was unhappy when Bryan Mbeumo’s corner fell.
Bis repeated on another corner, a few minutes later, on another blow from Wissa (39′), for a goal once again canceled by the VAR. The third half will go well, Wissa beats Alisson, this time with a header (42nd, 2-0).
Jürgen Klopp’s men reacted promptly in the second half, monopolizing the ball and multiplying dangerous actions, including a goal denied to Nunez for offside (47′), before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain headed Raya on a fine cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold to reduce the score (50th, 2-1).
A shot disallowed at Brentford’s first opportunity in the second period, Mbeumo beat Konaté in a duel on a long ball from Keane Lewis-Potter, to give air to the Bees (84th, 3-1).
