Liverpool Defeats Brentford To Claim Second Spot In Premier League

Liverpool defeats Brentford to reclaim the second spot on the English Premier League table.

It all started from a frustrating 3-3 draw in the reverse fixture in September, the Reds dominated the match from the blast of the whistle.

Fabinho, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Takumi Minamino bagged goals as the Reds coped with the absence of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane at the Africa Cup of Nations. Victory lifts Jurgen Klopp’s men to within 11 points of the runaway leaders, but they also have a game in hand on City.

Next up for Liverpool is a trip to the Emirates for their EFL Cup semi-final against Arsenal, before travelling to Crystal Palace next weekend. Brentford is to play against Manchester United on Wednesday.
