Alexander Isak scored the winner as Liverpool won at Brentford, making it three consecutive Premier League away games in which he has decided the match. All three of Liverpool's league wins this season have come on the road and all have been sealed by Isak. The Swede now has five goals in eight games after managing just four in 22 outings last season, with his expected goals (xG) total already at 4.1 and his xG per shot up from 0.15 to 0.21.
Florian Wirtz delivered a creative standout performance, making nine chances and assisting Victor Munoz as Liverpool recovered from a goal down to beat Brentford 2-1. Andoni Iraola praised the playmaker’s work in tight spaces, while acknowledging Liverpool could have managed the closing stages better.
Brentford boss Keith Andrews said Liverpool defender Jeremy Jacquet was 'cute and clever' in the incident that led to Yehor Yarmoliuk's red card before half-time, as the Bees lost 2-1 to Liverpool at the Gtech Community Stadium. Andrews also criticised the VAR intervention that overturned Liverpool's penalty, with Andoni Iraola agreeing the decision was wrong.
Liverpool fought back from 1-0 down at the Gtech Community Stadium to beat Brentford 2-1, with Victor Muñoz equalising and Alexander Isak scoring the winner on his return from injury. Brentford were reduced to nine men after Yehor Yarmolyuk was sent off for a headbutt on Jérémy Jacquet in first-half stoppage time and Vitaly Janelt saw a second yellow late on.
