Having turned in one of the worst halves of an increasingly exasperating Premier League campaign, Liverpool's reprieve at Brentford came gift wrapped with a bow on towards the end of it.
Yoane Wissa's strike to double the advantage had hit an offside Ben Mee on its way, denying the Bees a fully-deserved second goal of what had been an excellent first period for Thomas Frank's side.
Instead of taking the present for all it was worth, however, the Reds decided to toss it straight into the rubbish instead. Within seconds, a disastrous attempt to restart the game saw them lose possession in their own half and it ended with Wissa finally claiming his goal at the third time of asking.
