Liverpool keeps on top of PL table after win over Brentford

Liverpool asserted their dominance in the Premier League title race with a resounding 4-1 victory over Brentford in West London. The league leaders showcased their prowess with an emphatic win, further solidifying their position at the top of the table. Captain Virgil van Dijk anchored Liverpool's defense with a commanding presence, marking his 250th appearance for the club.

The goal showcased Liverpool's attacking prowess and set the tone for the remainder of the match. Following the break, Liverpool continued to press forward relentlessly. Mohamed Salah, who entered the game early due to a Jota injury, provided an assist to Alexis Mac Allister, extending Liverpool's lead to 2-0 in the 55th minute. Salah then got on the scoresheet himself in the 68th minute, courtesy of an assist from Gakpo.

Toney strikes back

Despite Brentford's efforts to mount a comeback, Liverpool remained resilient. Brentford's Ivan Toney managed to pull one back in the 75th minute, briefly raising hopes for the home side.
