London, England – Brentford secured a stunning 3-2 victory over Liverpool on Saturday, marking the defending champions’ fourth straight loss in the Premier League. The defeat leaves Liverpool reeling as they try to regain their footing this season.
The match began with a dramatic fifth-minute goal from Brentford’s Dango Ouattara. Following a long throw-in by Michael Kayode, Kristoffer Ajer flicked the ball on to Ouattara, who volleyed it into the net. Liverpool struggled to respond early on, showing vulnerabilities that have plagued their defense this season.

The turning point came in the 60th minute when Brentford was awarded a penalty after Virgil van Dijk fouled Ouattara. Igor Thiago stepped up and calmly converted the penalty, restoring Brentford’s two-goal lead.
Despite a late goal from Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah in the 89th minute, which brought them nearer at 3-2, Brentford held on through a tense final few minutes, enduring significant pressure.
The match reflected Liverpool’s struggles this season, as they remain sixth in the league while Brentford continues to impress with their strong start.
