Liverpool’s hopes of defending their Premier League title took another hit on Saturday when they lost their fourth straight league game, this time 3-2 against Brentford in a tough match.
Brentford’s goals from Dango Ouattara, Kevin Schade, and Igor Thiago gave them a well-earned win and moved them up to 10th place.
Meanwhile, the reigning champions dropped down to sixth, and by Sunday, they could be as many as seven points behind league leaders Arsenal.
Arne Slot’s team has now gone through five losses in their last six games across all competitions. The manager is still trying to find the right balance, even after spending a record £450 million this summer.
Alexander Isak went off the pitch due to a groin injury, though Mohamed Salah made his way back into the starting eleven after their midweek Champions League victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
Brentford’s long throw-ins kept causing trouble all game. It was from one of Michael Kayode’s throws that Kristoffer Ajer flicked the ball on for Ouattara, who then smashed it into the net for the opening goal.
Liverpool tried to fight back and showed some fight late on, but it wasn’t enough. They suffered another tough loss, making their problems worse and leaving their title race in ruins.
