Brentford continued their impressive start to the Premier League season by holding league leaders Liverpool to a 3-3 draw in a sensational six-goal thriller on Saturday evening. The newly-promoted side, who beat Arsenal on the opening day, showcased their resilience against Jurgen Klopp's star-studded team.
David Raya, Brentford's goalkeeper, recovered from a nervy start to make a world-class save from Diogo Jota and control his area well. Defender Ethan Pinnock scored his first Premier League goal with a well-timed far-post run, while Ivan Toney produced another all-action performance, setting up Pinnock's opener with a deft touch.
Liverpool's Curtis Jones scored a sensational long-range goal in the 67th minute, while Mohamed Salah netted his 100th Premier League goal. Virgil van Dijk put in a strong display at the heart of Liverpool's defence, making a match-saving tackle in stoppage time. However, Brentford's brave defending, including a goal-line clearance from a defender, ensured they earned a point.
The result leaves Brentford with a strong start to their top-flight campaign, while Liverpool remain at the top of the table but will rue their inability to hold onto the lead.
