The game started on a low note for Liverpool, as they conceded a goal in the opening five minutes. Michael Kayode's long throw-in was flicked on by Kristoffer Ajer and Dango Ouattara scored with a volley.

Mohamed Salah had a chance to equalize, but was denied by Caoimhin Kelleher. Later, Florian Wirtz also missed an opportunity to score when he sliced a half-volley wide.

Brentford continued to apply pressure and were rewarded with a second goal when Jordan Henderson's shot went wide, and Giorgi Mamardashvili made a spectacular one-handed save to deny Mikkel Damsgaard.

Damsgaard then provided an assist for Kevin Schade, who scored Brentford's second goal. However, Liverpool pulled back with Milos Kerkez scoring in stoppage time to make it 2-1 at halftime.

The second half saw Brentford continue to dominate, and despite a stunning Mamardashvili save, they were awarded a penalty when Virgil van Dijk fouled Ouattara. Igor Thiago scored from the spot to restore Brentford's two-goal lead.

Manager Arne Slot made several substitutions in an attempt to turn the game around, but it was too late. Mohamed Salah scored a late goal to make it 3-2, but it wasn't enough to change the outcome.

Liverpool has now lost five straight games in London since 1970, and this loss puts them at risk of falling further behind in the title race.

Brentford, on the other hand, earned a significant win, moving into the top half of the Premier League table with their third victory in four matches.

The match's standout player was Kevin Schade, who scored a crucial goal for Brentford.
