Liverpool climb to third in 3-0 win against Brentford

Liverpool climbed to third place in the Premier League with a 3-0 victory over Brentford at Anfield on Sunday. Mohamed Salah showed class with a brace. He broke the deadlock in the 39th minute with a clinical strike, capitalizing on Brentford’s missed opportunities in the first half.

The Bees’ appeal that the ball had gone out of play went unanswered.
