Brentford (3-5-2)

Reya 7

Raya has been solid for Brentford and made a number of good saves to keep them in the game when Liverpool were at their most threatening.

Sanka 6

Zanka set the tone of the game when he received a booking for a foul on Nunez in the second minute. However, he was reliable for the rest of the duel.

pinock 7

Pinnock did well to keep Nunez at bay during the Premier League game. However, he has made some wayward releases.

me 8

Mee was one of Brentford’s standout performers. He was involved in most of their attacks and even saved Nunez’s first-half goal from finding the back of the net.

Roerslev 7

Not one of Roerslev’s best performances. He played a little too cautiously but still took care of his team.

Jensen 7:5 (Dasilva 74:6)

Good performance from Jensen – who recorded an assist for Wissa for Brentford’s second goal.

Norgard 7.5

Norgaard was sure-footed for Brentford at the back. He also launched some of their most dangerous counterattacks.

Janelt 6.5 (Ghoddos 87)

Janelt didn’t give Brenford his best performance, but he controlled the “controllable” and ran hard for his teammates.

Henry 7 (Sorensen 90)

Henry was strong in attack and dominated his channel. However, he made some mistakes defensively.

Mbeumo 8.5 (Canos 88)

Mbeumo won his 50/50 struggles and was consistently strong on the ball. He also scored Brentford’s third and first goal of the game.

Wissa 8 (Lewis Potter 74, 6)

Another good performance from Wissa. He scored an exceptional goal that went unacknowledged but rebounded to find the net again.

Liverpool (4-3-3)

Alison 6.5

Alisson will be disappointed with the goal line and the lack of communication between his defenders but he made some crucial saves to keep Liverpool on the ball

Alexander Arnold 6

Sensational cross for Liverpool’s only goal of the game but failed to convert late in the second half after the ball was placed perfectly on his right foot.

konat 4

Konate will be disappointed with his performance. He scored an own goal to put Brentford ahead and was blocked off the ball for the third goal.

Van Dijk 4.5 (Matip 46)

It was a night to forget for Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk. After a disappointing first 45 minutes, he was substituted at half-time.

Tsimikas 4.5 (Robertson 46)

Tsimikas wanted to make more impact after replacing Robertson. Guilty of firing off some erratic crosses, he missed a golden opportunity to score.

Elliott 5 (Keita 46)

Elliott was booked and substituted during the game. It was no surprise given his rash challenges and inability to create anything for the future.

Fabino 6

Fabinho returned to the squad after missing the Leicester game due to the birth of his first child. Liverpool benefited from his presence but the midfield as a whole suffered a slump in form.

Thiago 6

Thiago had an excellent game against Leicester but couldn’t reach the same heights against Brentford. Still, he was one of Liverpool’s better players for once that night.

salah 6

Salah did well to threaten from the flanks on Monday night but struggled to execute his final passes.

Nunez 6.5

Nunez missed a huge opportunity for Liverpool in the first half but scored a wonderful goal in the second half. However, he was disallowed for offside.

Oxlade Chamberlain 6.5 (Jones 83)

Oxlade-Chamberlain played his 100th game for Liverpool on Monday night, scoring the game’s only goal.
