Mohamed Salah scored on his return from injury as Liverpool beat Brentford to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League.
Ivan Toney pulled a goal back for Brentford, but Cody Gakpo added the gloss for Liverpool with a late strike.The only sour points for Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp from the win at the Gtech Community Stadium were more additions to a lengthening injury list. "Darwin, we took off because he felt really a little but that was obviously today enough to immediately push the brake and that's what we did, so we took him off."
It feels somewhat inevitable that Nunez and City striker Erling Haaland will be the central figures leading into that encounter.Salah's return - he replaced the injured Jota in the 44th minute for his first appearance since New Year's Day - was a huge plus point for Liverpool.
