Before the match, the home team Liverpool was rated higher than the away team Brentford because of their superior squad. At the same time, the history of the “Red Brigade” also overwhelmed the opponent, with a record of 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 10 confrontations.

Coach Arne Slot’s team quickly overwhelmed the away team in the first minutes of the match. The goal came to the home team in the 13th minute. Starting from a corner ick by Brentford, Liverpool organized a quick corattack. Diogo Jota pulled the ball up to the middle of the field and then passed the ball to the Colombian striker who ran down to finish with his left foot into the near corner, defeating goalkeeper Mark Flekken.

After scoring, Mohamed Salah and his teammates continued to pressure the away team. The Egyptian striker was the main nucleus in Liverpool’s attacks.

Salah’s goal saw Liverpool sal the ball from midfield, before Diaz slotted down the right side of the penalty area for the Egyptian striker to curl his left foot into the far corner of the net. This was the 32-year-old’s second consecutive goal in the Premier League this season.

Salah continued to show his scoring ability, but Diaz was the standout of the match with a goal and an assist. In three consecutive seasons, Diaz has scored his first goal at Anfield. He also created four chances for his teammates, and made three successful tackles, earning a Whoscored score of 9, the highest in the match.

Thus, only Arsenal and Liverpool have maintained their absolute record in the Premier League, as both won 2-0 in their first matches. Luis Diaz opened the scoring for Anfield in the 13th minute, before Mohamed Salah sealed the victory in the second half. Arne Slot’s team are one of four teams to have won all 6 points from the first two rounds, alongside Man City, Brighton and Arsenal.

Slot’s first game at Anfield ended perfectly, and he was also enthusiastically cheered by the audience. When his name was introduced, the audience cheered, clapped and sang the famous You’ll Never Walk Alone.

When he was appointed to replace Jurgen Klopp, many fans were skeptical about the ability of the 46-year-old Slot. But after the first two matches, he has more or less created trust among the fans. And the support for the Dutch coach will increase if Liverpool continue to win in the third round against Man Utd at Old Trafford on September 1.
