Brentford came in search of a club record fourth consecutive Premier League win but Anfield records are the preserve of Mohamed Salah these days. The Liverpool forward created another by scoring in the sixth home league game of the season, and twice, as Jurgen Klopp’s side ended an indifferent week with a comfortable victory over Thomas Frank’s visitors.
Salah’s brace and a fine finish from Diogo Jota sealed an ultimately impressive win for Liverpool, although they were also reliant on commanding defending from Virgil van Dijk, Alisson and company for the margin of victory. Brentford were obstinate and dangerous as they so often are under Frank, but no match for the quality of Liverpool’s attack. Darwin Núñez could have enhanced the victory but had two goals disallowed for offside.
