Liverpool continued to demonstrate their Premier League title credentials with an impressive 2-0 victory over Brentford on Sunday, a match that highlighted one of the key reasons they remain a formidable force.
Arne Slot secured his first win as Liverpool manager at Anfield, guiding his side to a comfortable triumph over a Brentford team that offered little in attack. Luis Diaz opened the scoring with a clinical counter-attack, finishing off a well-timed through ball from Diogo Jota.
Mohamed Salah then sealed the win in the second half, delicately chipping the ball into the bottom corner to secure all three points.
Although it’s still early in the season, it’s clear that Liverpool, alongside Manchester City and Arsenal, will be contenders in the battle for the Premier League crown once again.

Liverpool’s counter-attacking prowess was on full display in this match. Despite a dip in form towards the end of last season, the Reds have solidified their reputation as the best in the league when it comes to counter-attacks. Diaz’s goal on Sunday marked Liverpool’s 14th counter-attacking goal in the Premier League over the past three seasons, more than any other team in the competition.
Counter-attacking has long been a cornerstone of Jurgen Klopp’s tactical approach, and it seems Arne Slot is committed to continuing this tradition. As Liverpool set their sights on a second Premier League title, their ability to strike quickly and efficiently on the break will be a crucial weapon in their arsenal.
