Liverpool Come From Behind To Beat Brentford

Liverpool recovered from a first-half deficit after Brentford were reduced to nine men, with Alexander Isak scoring the winner for his fifth league goal.

  • On Saturday, October 17, 2026, Liverpool played Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium in West London, seeking momentum after a 6-3 Champions League victory over LASK in Austria.
  • Manager Andoni Iraola sought to improve his team's away form, having won only 2 of 6 Premier League games, while the fourth-placed Bees entered unbeaten this season.
  • Iraola praised summer signing Bradley Barcola after his hat trick, saying, "I'm really happy for Bradley because you were asking me yesterday about him not making the numbers." Florian Wirtz also impressed.
  • Historically, Brentford remained unbeaten against the Reds last season, with Liverpool's last road victory at the Bees occurring in 2024; draw odds were set at 11/4.
  • Only a single point separated ninth-placed Liverpool from the fourth-placed Bees in the table, setting up a critical encounter in the tightly contested Premier League campaign.
