Fabinho scored the home side’s first goal of the night at the stroke of half-time, before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Takumi Minamino scored the team’s second and third goals respectively in the second half.
Following last night’s result, the Reds find themselves 11 points behind league leaders Manchester City with a game in hand. Manager Jurgen Klopp refused to entertain thoughts of a potential title win, but optimistically promised that his side will do everything they can to compete as much as possible. According to This Is Anfield, Klopp was asked about the title race in a post-match interview, to which he responded:
Notably, Jurgen Klopp’s side kept their first clean sheet in six Premier League games and the club’s fans heaped praise on centre-back Joel Matip for his performance, with some even calling him the best defender in the Premier League.

Liverpool’s only concern from the match against Brentford will be a potential injury to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who despite being excellent, had to be taken off halfway through the second half. Jurgen Klopp was quick to praise the 28-year-old but admitted he didn’t know how serious the injury was.
