Liverpools Fourth Straight League Defeat as Brentford Triumph 3-2 in England Premier League

Liverpool suffered their fourth consecutive Premier League loss, going down 3-2 to Brentford. Goals from Dango Ouattara, Kevin Schade, and Igor Thiago lifted Brentford to 10th, while Mohamed Salah and Milos Kerkez scored for Liverpool. The defending champions have now lost five of their last six matches, slipping to sixth in the table.

In the Premier League 2025-26 season, Liverpool suffered their fourth straight defeat, losing 3-2 to Brentford at Anfield. Despite being the defending champions, Arne Slot’s side has now lost five of their last six matches across competitions, slipping to sixth place in the table. Brentford, led by Keith Andrews, climbed to 10th after an impressive display built on physicality and set-piece strength.

Dango Ouattara opened the scoring after Kristoffer Ajer’s flick from a long throw, while Kevin Schade doubled the lead with a composed finish following a superb pass from Mikkel Damsgaard. Liverpool briefly pulled one back through Milos Kerkez in first-half stoppage time, but Brentford regained control after Virgil van Dijk’s foul on Ouattara led to a VAR-awarded penalty that Igor Thiago converted. Mohamed Salah ended his six-game goal drought with a brilliant 89th-minute strike, yet it came too late to rescue his side.

Slot admitted that Liverpool failed to do the basics right, reflecting deep concerns over his new-look squad, which cost nearly £450 million in the summer. The defeat highlighted defensive fragility and tactical disarray as Liverpool’s title defense continued to unravel amid emotional and structural challenges this season.
