Liverpool’s brilliant start to the season continued at Anfield after they edged Brentford 2-0 in the regular 90 minutes of play.
Luis Diaz’s first-half goal and Mohamed Salah’s second-half conversion were just enough to put a smile on the faces of the club’s fans under the new era of Arne Slot.
As expected, Liverpool dominated the match, earning 62% ball possession against the visitors, who managed 38%. Of the 19 goal attempts Liverpool had, 8 were on target and 2 resulted in goals, unlike Brentford, whose only 2 out of their 9 attempts were on target.
Liverpool will travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in their next Premier League match on September 1, 2024, in an expectedly tough battle.
