"Liverpool matched their worst-ever Premier League run as they sunk to a 3-2 defeat at Brentford on Saturday for their fourth consecutive league loss. Despite appearing to put an end to their disastrous run of form with a 5-1 crushing of Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday, the Premier League title holders found themselves behind after just five minutes in west London. After Dango Ouattara's early strike, Kevin Schade made it 2-0 to the hosts on 45 minutes."
"Mohamed Salah, restored to the starting lineup after being benched in midweek, struck his first Premier League goal since the opening day to give Liverpool hope late on but Brentford held on to claim just their second Premier League win over the Merseyside giants. Liverpool are just the fourth defending Premier League champions to lose four straight games, joining the Anfield club's 2020-21 side, 2024-25 Manchester City and 2016-17 Leicester City, who lost five straight."
Liverpool lost 3-2 at Brentford, suffering a fourth straight Premier League defeat that matched the club's worst-ever run. Brentford took an early lead through Dango Ouattara and extended the advantage when Kevin Schade scored on 45 minutes. Milos Kerkez pulled one back before half-time, but Brentford restored a two-goal cushion when Igor Thiago converted a second-half penalty after a VAR review. Mohamed Salah scored his first Premier League goal since the opening day to provide late hope, but Brentford held on. Liverpool were without Alexander Isak due to injury and have already matched last season's total losses through nine games.
