Liverpool cemented their position at the top of the Premier League with a dramatic 2-0 victory over Brentford, thanks to two stoppage-time goals from substitute Darwin Núñez.
After relentless pressure and 35 failed attempts, Liverpool finally broke through in the 91st minute when Núñez tapped in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross.
Just two minutes later, the Uruguayan sealed the win with a clinical finish, capping a dominant display that saw Liverpool take 37 shots in total.
The win moves Liverpool to 50 points from 21 games, six clear of second-placed Arsenal, who have played one more match. Manager Arne Slot admitted relief at the result, acknowledging recent struggles to convert chances but praising the team’s persistence.
