Super challenging to play Frank's Brentford - Klopp

Liverpool moved joint-top of the Premier League as Mohamed Salah’s double helped the Reds return to winning ways against Brentford at Anfield.

Salah struck at Anfield for the sixth Premier League game in a row to start the season with goals either side of half-time, with Diogo Jota adding a third late on.

Darwin Nunez saw two goals disallowed for offside before the Uruguayan turned provider as Salah broke the deadlock with a smart finish on 39 minutes.

Salah then doubled Liverpool’s lead as he nodded a free header into the corner after Kostas Tsitmikas managed to keep the ball in play on the byline.

Brentford carried threat at times but were denied by Alisson and Virgil van Dijk, before Jota added a third with a fine curling finish late on.

After last week’s draw at Luton and defeat to Toulouse in midweek, victory for Liverpool put Jurgen Klopp’s sidel level on points with Arsenal and Manchester City, ahead of the champions’ trip to Chelsea.
