Brentford are starting to open Liverpool up a bit.

Rico Henry gets in behind on the left and cuts onto his right foot, skewing it way wide.

Trent Alexander-Arnold cuts inside and almost gets through on the edge of the box, choosing not to shot and instead losing it.

Ivan Toney then flicks it down the line for Bryan Mbeumo but his cut-back is straight at Alisson again.

They'll [Brentford] be encouraged by their ending to the first half, they had a goal disallowed, rightly, for offside. They got players into positive positions and they started to compete in the game more.

Bryan Mbeumo slices it into Alisson's hands at the near post. The Liverpool keeper is then clattered into by Ivan Toney who couldn't put the brakes on as he tried to meet Mbeumo's cross.

Cody Gakpo flicks it over his marker's head and tries to link-up with Mohamed Salah but Ben Mee intercepts.

He finds Frank Onyeka and he hits it straight into Virgil van Dijk.

Alisson sends it long straight away for Darwin Nunez to chase. He fouls Aaron Hickey.

Starting things off in exactly the same way as the first half. Lovely.

Off we go again at Anfield.

Any more goals to come? Hopefully.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 122 Premier League matches when leading at half-time.

Brentford have a record of W1, D2, L7 when trailing at half-time this season.

Bryan Mbeumo caused Liverpool a few problems in that half.

One shot on target, two touches in Liverpool's box, one disallowed goal and three final third entries.

The goals keep coming.

Mohamed Salah (186) now sits joint-fifth alongside Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard (186) in their all-time leading goalscorers charts.

Of those 186 goals, Salah has scored 100 at Anfield.

He has netted in each of his last nine competitive appearances at the stadium, being the first Liverpool player to do so.

Not a blockbuster by any means.

Brentford are still well in this. Mohamed Salah has given Liverpool a narrow lead at the break though.

Jurgen Klopp will be a touch concerned that his side haven’t been able to go on and convert that early dominance into a more substantial lead.

Ivan Toney takes the ball down nicely on the left and quickly whips in an early cross. It's straight to Alisson at the near post.

Mohamed Salah dances past a few challenges but can't beat Ben Mee. Brentford break down the left and Ivan Toney is brought down by Ibrahima Konate.

It feels like more fouls than passes in this game!

Bryan Mbeumo whips in the free-kick and it's Liverpool's Fabinho who makes contact, heading it towards his own goal. Alisson is able to hold onto it comfortably though.
