Liverpool soars to second place in Premier League with Convincing 3-0 triumph over Brentford at Anfield

Liverpool jumped up to third in the Premier League after a 3-0 victory over Brentford at Anfield.

Salah opened the scoring with his well-taken 38th minute strike, punishing the Bees for failing to take their chances before half time.

Nunez had twice seen goals ruled out for offside prior to the opening goal, but will take some comfort from assisting the breakthrough before the interval. Salah doubled his account and Liverpool’s lead after the break, heading in Tsimikas’ short cross as Brentford appealed that the ball had gone out of play.

Those claims fell off deaf ears and all matters worsened for the Bees as Jota smashed in from Tsimikas’ short offload, the left back registering his second assist to the game.

Cruising a victory Klopp introduced Diaz for his first Anfield appearance since his father was released from captivity after being kidnapped in Colombia.

The Reds move level on points with the too two, Arsenal and Manchester City.
