Brentford have the ball in the back of the net once more after a manic goal mouth scramble from a corner, but it was resultingly ruled out for offside. How the linesman managed to see that one I don't know!

Great save by Raya who does well to get down so low so quickly. Tsimikas finds himself free in the box and lets fly by the Brentford keeper is equal to it.

Liverpool not letting that get them down, as they have come out stronger after the goal, keeping large swathes of the possession.

VVD with a superb chance, finding himself alone just outside the six yard box and a free shot at goal. It was saved then later ruled out for offside, should have put it in the back of the net in any event.

Early booking for Zanka who goes in late on Nunez.

The away side get us underway here on a cold January evening in London.
