Liverpool climbed to third place in the Premier League with a 3-0 victory over Brentford at Anfield on Sunday.
Mohamed Salah showed class with a brace. He broke the deadlock in the 39th minute with a clinical strike, capitalizing on Brentford’s missed opportunities in the first half.
Despite two disallowed goals for offside, Nunez played a role in assisting Salah’s opening goal.
Salah doubled Liverpool’s lead in the second half with a well-timed header from Tsimikas’ cross. The Bees’ appeal that the ball had gone out of play went unanswered.
Adding to Brentford’s woes, Jota extended Liverpool’s lead, smashing in a goal from Tsimikas’ short strike.
Tsimikas, registering two assists in the game, played a vital role in Liverpool’s dominance.
With the win, Liverpool now shares points with the top two teams, Arsenal and Manchester City.
