The reds were keen to get off to a good start and promptly, from a Brentford corner, the reds powered away in the 13th minute with Jota supplying Luis Diaz at breakneck pace - the Colombian grabbing his first goal of the season.
Trent Alexander-Arnold flashed a free kick over the bar, but slowly Brentford came into the game as the half wore on. The opening ten minutes of the second half were even more dominant for the away team, but gradually the reds quality told and the tide quickly shifted.
Both Sepp van den Berg and Fabio Carvalho were on the Brentford bench, Carvalho coming on for the final 25 minutes. More than £50M from the London club into the Bank of Liverpool.
But not even Fabio could change the momentum as chances began to pile up our way. Szoboszlai the post from a corner, Diaz shot pushed narrowly past the post.
At the end of the pitch Arne Slot strolled on to the pitch, jacket over his arm and with a wave to the Kop. This has been an efficient, if not manic, start to the season. The reds just one of four Premier League teams to maintain a 100% record.
