Following Liverpool’s most recent match, there was both positive and negative news. Alisson was the most recent player to go down with an injury, although Conor Bradley and Mohamed Salah were back in the starting lineup.

Consequently, Caoimhin Kelleher kept his position and had to wait eighteen minutes to make his first save as the Reds controlled possession, despite brief bursts of attacking threat from the hosts when they had the overlap.

As Liverpool hunkered down in their half, they attempted to counterattack, but Jurgen Klopp’s team shown an incredible ability to switch from defence to attack.

Following Virgil van Dijk’s defensive clearance, Diogo Jota skillfully headed the ball into Darwin Nunez’s path, setting him up for a beautiful chip finish to make it 1-0.

A thrilling sequence of events that saw Curtis Jones being forced off the pitch due to an ankle injury and Jota being stretchered off after a Brentford player fell on his knee, interspersed with a brief period of elation.

When it rains, it pours, therefore Liverpool will be crossing all of their fingers and toes that this isn’t serious!

Liverpool continued to make changes even after the half, with Nunez being substituted and Cody Gakpo coming on at the beginning of the second. I hope it’s not another problem.

However, Klopp’s team continued where they left off after the interval. Salah swiftly atoned for his missed opportunity, laying on a wonderful pass between defenders to set up Alexis Mac Allister.

When Salah was the first to respond to Gakpo’s headed flick-on from the centre circle, he scored a goal of his own with a cool finish. For the season, that is 19!

The Reds showed off their dominance with the ball, but Kelleher’s outstanding first-time reaction save put Ivan Toney squarely in his path, making it impossible for him to stay off the scoresheet.

Despite Jota’s injury, Klopp’s team remained unflinching, and Gakpo brought the victory home with yet another flawless Liverpool finish. This gave him a much-needed confidence boost.

There were some fears prior to this match, but Liverpool’s performance soon allayed them. However, there will be serious worries regarding the severity of the injuries sustained in the capital.
