Follow Us
Liverpool vs Brentford: Liverpool host Brentford at Anfield on Matchday 22 of the ongoing edition of the Premier League.
The Liverpool high-pressing and pacey style of play were in full effect as they grabbed a lead with a great header from Fabinho and doubled their lead in the second-half courtesy of Oxlade-Chamberlain. Brentford looked listless and couldn’t hope to mount a counter-attack as they conceded a third goal by Minamino due to some lazy passing at the back. The Redmen closed the show in style as they win another home game with three goals to nil.
Let’s take a look at the player ratings for the match:-
Liverpool vs Brentford Player Ratings
Liverpool:
Alisson (GK) (7/10): Alisson played well and controlled his box as he didn’t have a whole lot to do,
Andrew Robertson (7.5/10): Robertson was always a willing receiver and looked to pass the ball into dangerous areas which started several counter-attacks.
Virgil van Dijk (7.5/10): An amazing performance as he drove into midfield with the ball at his feet on a few occasions to good effect and was a stalwart defender.
Joël Matip (7/10): A great performance as he played some dangerous long balls from the back and also kept a clean sheet.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (8/10): Trent controlled his flank really well with a great delivery into the box from a corner that led to the opening goal for Liverpool.
Fabinho (8/10): Fabinho was in the right place at the right time as he nodded in a corner by Trent to give Liverpool the lead.
Curtis Jones (7/10): A good progressor of the ball, as he was everywhere during the first half an hour, breaking up play and generally running the midfield show.
Jordan Henderson (7.5/10): Henderson controlled the game in midfield and linked up really well with the attack.
Diogo Jota (6.5/10): An good performance from Jota who was subbed off a little early to give Kaide Gordon a runaround.
Roberto Firmino (7.5/10): Firmino showed incredible composure as he laid off the ball to Minamino to give him an open to score.

Shandon Baptist (6.5/10): Baptiste got in good positions and controlled the tempo in midfield for Brentford.
