Brentford, Jan 3 (Ians) Brentford moved up to within six points of the top four with a 3-1 win against Liverpool, their first victory over the Reds since 1938.
Thomas Frank’s side, missing top scorer Ivan Toney, broke the deadlock on 19 minutes when Bryan Mbeumo’s corner bounced off Ibrahima Konate’s leg and over the line, reports premierleague.com.
Brentford had two goals ruled out for offside before they doubled their lead three minutes before the break when Yoane Wissa’s downward header from Mathias Jensen’s delivery beat Alisson.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s first Premier League goal of 2022/23, a smart header from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s superb cross, reduced the arrears for Liverpool five minutes after the break.
There was to be no way back, however, and Mbeumo made the points safe for the Bees with a crisp finish four minutes from time.
Liverpool remain sixth with 28 points, two points ahead of Brentford,...

Brentford, Jan 2 (Ians) Darwin Nunez has blistering pace, tremendous industry and the ability to stretch any defence he faces, but there is scope for technical improvement in the Liverpool striker’s game ahead of facing Brentford.
The Uruguayan has scored five Premier League goals from nine starts in his debut Premier League season, at a rate of one every 156.8 minutes, reports premierleague.com.
As a standalone stat this is a decent return, but Nunez will know that his goal tally should have been considerably higher by the turn of the year. Liverpool have not had any difficulty creating quality opportunities for their summer signing.
Tirelessly working hard to evade his markers, Nunez gets on the end of more big chances per 90 minutes than anyone else who has scored at least five times. Even the division’s top scorer, Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (1.91), does not have as many clear-cut chances as Nunez.
