First-Half Control and Disciplinary Trouble
Keith Andrews’ side had established control before the interval, taking the lead through Keane Lewis-Potter’s superb header in the 44th minute. However, the momentum shifted heavily when Yehor Yarmoliuk was dismissed in first-half added time. Referee John Brooks issued a red card for a headbutting action directed at Liverpool defender Jeremy Jacquet, leaving the hosts heavily penalized.
The Second-Half Comeback
Aided by their man advantage, Liverpool overturned the deficit after the break. Spain winger Victor Munoz leveled the score in the 62nd minute by cutting inside and finishing past goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher following a pass from Florian Wirtz. Eight minutes later, Alexander Isak netted his fifth goal of the season with a clinical strike, assisted after Bradley Barcola headed down Alexis Mac Allister’s cross.
Brentford’s frustrations concluded in stoppage time when Vitaly Janelt received a second yellow card for a foul on Liverpool substitute Rio Ngumoha, reducing the hosts to nine players.
