A determined Brentford showed early signs of a potential upset at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they faced league leaders Liverpool.
However, Thomas Frank's side's organised beginning to the fixture was soon undone by a classy Darwin Nunez chip after 35 minutes. That goal knocked the stuffing out of the Bees and things got messy when Mohamed Salah was brought on from the bench for his first Liverpool appearance since New Year's Day.
The Egyptian sparkled as Liverpool grabbed three more in the second half to make a 75th minute Ivan Toney goal of little importance. Here's how the Brentford stars rated.
