Liverpool's title defence in tatters after fourth defeat

Goals from Dango Ouattara, Kevin Schade and Igor Thiago inflicted a fourth straight loss on Arne Slot’s increasingly rattled Reds.

Milos Kerkez pulled one back and Mohamed Salah ended his recent goal drought, but the champions are still in the doldrums with summer signings Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike quiet on a tough night for the champions.

Liverpool are now down in sixth, behind Bournemouth, Manchester United and Sunderland among others, and could find themselves seven points adrift of leaders Arsenal by the end of the weekend.

imageSlot was well aware of Brentford’s threat from long throws, but Liverpool still could not handle them as they fell behind after only five minutes.
