After a 1-5 midweek win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League, it seemed as if Liverpool had ended their losing streak and would now have a big turnaround in the Premier League, but that was not to be.
The English champions were defeated 3-2 by Brentford, a match valid for week 9 in the Premier League. The team led by Arne Slot has suffered its 4th consecutive defeat.
The home team opened the match in the 5th minute with Dango Uatara.
At the end of the first half, Kevin Shade doubled Brentford's lead after a quick counterattack and a perfect assist from Damsgard.
However, at the end of extra time, Liverpool found the goal through Milos Kerkez. The Hungarian returned to the game for the Reds.
In the 60th minute, Igor Tiago sealed Brentford's victory and plunged Liverpool into a deep results crisis for more than a month. The English champions' last victory dates back to September 20 of this year in the derby with Everton with the score of 2-1.
When it was thought that the match would end here, Liverpool narrowed the gap with a goal scored by Mohamed Salah in the 89th minute of the match, but the Egyptian's goal had statistical value.
With this loss, Liverpool ranks 6th with 15 points, 4 less than the leading Arsenal, but the "gunners" have one less match and in case of victory, Arteta's team would widen the gap with Liverpool to 6 points, while Brentford climbs to 9th place with 13 points.
