LONDON — Liverpool had Alexander Isak, Víctor Muñoz and, most of all, Brentford’s Yehor Yarmoliuk to thank for a 2–1 win at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.
Andoni Iraola’s visitors were deservedly trailing 1–0 before Yarmoliuk became enveloped in a cloud of red mist on the cusp of halftime, delivering the gentlest of headbutts that would have a far more profound impact on the contest than its intended recipient, Jérémy Jacquet.
