  • 92'
    FT: Liverpool 3-0 Brentford! All over at Anfield and it was a comfortable win for the hosts. Fabinho headed Liverpool ahead just before the break and in the second half, the Ox made it two in the 70th minute just moments after Mbeumo could've easily levelled for the Bees. Minamino then completed the scoring after a defensive howler at the back. That's all from us, thanks for your company and see you again soon!
