Champion Liverpool suffered a fourth successive Premier League defeat as it lost 3-2 at Brentford on Saturday to continue its miserable run of form in the capital.
Arne Slot’s stumbling side fell behind after five minutes when Dango Ouattara volleyed in following a long throw and Kevin Schade went through to make it 2-0 in the 45th minute.
Milos Kerkez replied for the visitors in first-half stoppage time with his first Liverpool goal from Conor Bradley’s cross.
Liverpool’s expected second-half siege never really materialised, however, and Igor Thiago restored Brentford’s two-goal advantage from the penalty spot on the hour mark.
Brentford vs Liverpool highlights
Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool hope with clinical finish in the 89th minute but it had left it too late.
It is the first time since 2021 that Liverpool has lost four successive league games, with three of those games in London after defeats at Crystal Palace and Chelsea.
It is now sixth in the table on 15 points, four behind leaders Arsenal who could extend that margin on Sunday when it hosts Crystal Palace.
Brentford’s second win in a row moved it up to 10th place, two points behind Liverpool.
