In this match, Liverpool used the striker trio Salah – Nunez – Jota. Meanwhile, Luis Diaz sat on the bench even though his spirit and mentality were very good right now after his father was returned home after 12 days of being kidnapped.

 

Compared to his teammates, Nunez had 2 good opportunities and he both scored into the opponent’s net. Unfortunately, VAR refused. In the 23rd minute, from Dominik Szoboszlai’s pass, Nunez made a goal in an unmarked position. The ball hit the edge of the inside post and flew into Brentford’s net. However, the linesman determined that the Uruguayan striker was offside, and VAR also determined that.

 

5 minutes later, Nunez was disappointed again. From a corner kick, Van Dijk headed the ball extremely hard, causing goalkeeper Flekken to have difficulty blocking it. Matip then tried to head the ball for Nunez to hook the ball into the net. However, VAR once again confirmed that the Uruguayan player was offside.

 

At this time at Anfield, Liverpool still did not have a goal ahead. If it weren’t for goalkeeper Alisson’s talent, the home team would have conceded in the 32nd minute. Alisson came out very quickly and blocked Mbeumo’s shot.
