Everyone agreed that Liverpool's trip to Brentford on Saturday was going to be a challenge, but Andoni Iraola's side departed the Gtech Community Stadium with all three points. That was only Brentford's fourth Premier League home defeat under Andrews across 23 matches.

Meantime, for Liverpool, following wins at Ipswich and Bournemouth, they have won three successive away league games for the first time since October 2024. As noted by James Pearce of the Athletic, this is the first time Liverpool have won a Premier League game away from Anfield in which they've gone 1-0 down since December 2023.

The win propels Liverpool up to fifth, above the team they have just defeated, a point below Chelsea, who were victorious across Merseyside at Hill Dickinson Stadium in the day's early kick off. The games keep coming thick and fast for Iraola's team, welcoming Villarreal to Anfield in the Champions League as soon as Tuesday.
