Brentford vs Liverpool
Liverpool snatch win at Brentford
A late first-half strike from Lewis-Potter was overturned by Muñoz and Isak in the second half.
Brentford took the lead just before half-time through K. Lewis-Potter, but Liverpool responded strongly after the break with goals from Víctor Muñoz and A. Isak to secure a 2-1 victory. This result defied Fipster's medium-confidence prediction of a Brentford 1-0 win, proving the visitors' resilience and ability to overturn the deficit on the road.
