Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo rubbed salt into Liverpool’s wounds as he imitated LeBron James’ celebration after scoring against the Reds on Monday night.
The Bees led 2-1 when Mbeumo forced an error from defender Ibrahima Konate before slotting the ball past Alisson to secure a 3-1 win. The result means Brentford have moved to seventh in the Premier League while Liverpool remain sixth - 15 points behind leaders Arsenal.
Mbeumo notched his fourth goal of the season in the win, but eagle-eyed fans perhaps noticed that he pulled off James’ iconic ‘Silencer’ celebration. The move was perhaps a cheeky slight given the four-time NBA champion is a minority owner of Liverpool.
