It was another special night under the lights for Brentford with a resounding victory against Liverpool added to vibrant home wins over Manchester United and Arsenal since their return to the Premier League.
Their first victory over Liverpool since 1938 was even more impressive given that they were without top scorer Ivan Toney, who was not in the squad after being injured in their 2-0 victory at West Ham on 30 December.
This was only their second Premier League win without Toney since gaining promotion and a man-of-the-match performance from Mbeumo as well as the relentless attacking forays of Wissa were a large part of a solid team effort that saw them triumph.
Liverpool’s defending brought flashbacks of a tepid showing against Leicester when Klopp’s side ran out 2-1 winners – thanks to Wout Faes, but were cut open on several occasions.
Jurgën Klopp’s worries are now certain to increase with Virgil Van Dijk having to be substituted early because of an hamstring injury. Ibrahima Konate’s showing on the night left so much to be desired and former Red Jamie Carragher who is now a pundit stated afterwards that his former club would need to invest north of £200 million on the defence.
