Liverpool 1-0 Brentford RECAP: Mohamed Salah's first-half goal - his 30th of the season - gives the Reds a sixth straight win and moves Jurgen Klopp's side to within ONE POINT of Man United in fourth as they chase an unlikely Champions League place
Liverpool secured their sixth straight win by defeating Brentford 1-0 in their recent match, thanks to a first-half goal by Mohamed Salah, his 30th of the season. With this win, Liverpool moves within one point of Manchester United in fourth place in the Premier League and is still in the race for a Champions League spot.
Before kickoff, the national anthem was loudly booed and drowned out by Liverpool fans, which is not surprising to anyone. The fans made their feelings known about the monarchy, and this is likely to attract negative attention from certain newspapers. However, Liverpool supporters have reasons for their reaction, and people should be educated enough to understand why they behave in this way.
Salah, Liverpool's Egyptian King, enjoyed a record-breaking and match-winning performance by scoring his 100th goal at Anfield. Despite some lazy outsiders considering Salah's season poor, he scored his 30th goal of the campaign and became the first Liverpool player in history to score in nine consecutive appearances at Anfield. Salah is now among the four Liverpool players in history to score 30 or more goals in three consecutive seasons and is level with Steven Gerrard in the all-time scoring charts at fifth place.
Liverpool's starting lineup included Cody Gakpo in a midfield role, which caught the eye of many fans. Gakpo played on the right-sided No.8 berth, which is typically occupied by Jordan Henderson. Despite not producing any outstanding performances, he still managed to provide work-rate and intelligence. Gakpo showcased his versatility, which impressed Klopp and demonstrated the faith and trust he has in him.
Liverpool's midfield player, Trent Alexander-Arnold, produced some magnificent passes during the match and again displayed his class. Although Darwin Nunez was out-of-sorts, Alexander-Arnold's efforts were impressive. Since his role was tweaked, Trent leads the way in the whole of the Premier League in assists, chances created and touches.
In conclusion, Liverpool secured their sixth straight win against Brentford and is currently one point behind Manchester United in fourth place. The match highlighted Mohamed Salah's record-breaking performance, and Liverpool fans expressed their feelings about the monarchy during the national anthem. The match also showcased the versatility of Liverpool's midfield player, Cody Gakpo, and Trent Alexander-Arnold's impressive efforts. Liverpool remains in the race for a Champions League spot and will look to continue their winning streak in their next match.
