Brentford defender Keane Lewis-Potter stunned Liverpool in west London, sending a looping header over Alisson Becker from Igor Thiago’s cross in the 44th minute.

The host side was down to 10 men in first-half stoppage time, though, when Yehor Yarmolyuk’s head collided with Jeremy Jacquet’s face as the two waited for a corner.

Liverpool lost Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong to injury, but still put their extra man to good use in the 62nd minute.
