Jurgen Klopp praised Brentford as a "smart" team as he explained what he meant by his insistence they "stretched the rules" during their 3-1 win over Liverpool on Monday.
The Bees ran out deserved winners in west London as Liverpool saw their top four hopes suffer a blow at the Gtech Community Stadium, where they fell two goals down before half-time after an Ibrahima Konate own goal and a strike from Yoane Wissa, who also saw a couple of efforts disallowed for offside.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's header then brought Klopp's side back into the game, only for Bryan Mbeumo to wrap up the win for the hosts with a third goal.
