Alisson Becker 7
Saved a tame effort from Mbeumo and solid otherwise, even if not all his handling was orthodox. Booked.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 7
Created good chance for Nunez but kept more busy at right-back than in recent outings. Still found time for one rasping drive second half.

Ibrahima Konate 7
Hands full with the awkward physicality of the visiting attack but some important interventions second half. Booked.
Virgil van Dijk 7
Aerial prowess vital in face of Brentford barrage from set-pieces, and header set up Salah for winner. Booked.
Andy Robertson 6
Kept busy defensively early on as Brentford looked to diagonals early on, but held his own. Forward forays limited, however. Subbed.
Fabinho 7
Shielded the defence well enough from midfield runners before break and fine pass to Van Dijk helped set up goal. Booked.
Cody Gakpo 6
Playing on the right of midfield three, height helped Liverpool defending regular set-pieces but found it bit difficult playing out of position. Missed chance late on.
Curtis Jones 6
Impressed early on both with distribution and pressing, winning ball on number of occasions. Faded somewhat second half. Subbed.
Mohamed Salah 8
Initiated and finished the move for the winner and lively whenever cutting in from the right. Once again, the biggest attacking threat for Liverpool.
Darwin Nunez 6
Missed good chance before break but better in terms of finding positions and defending. Good attitude. Subbed.
Diogo Jota 7
Put in a huge shift defensively first half and created problems with his direct running. Moved into central position after break. Subbed.
Luis Diaz (for Nunez 65) 6
Few opportunities to run at the Brentford defence.
Jordan Henderson (for Jota 73) 6
Didn’t look 100% fit but soldiered on during his cameo.
Kostas Tsimikas (for Robertson 82)
Minutes.
James Milner (for Jones 82)
Good evening, sir.
