Brentford midfielder Mathias Jensen admitted a plan of bombarding Liverpool's box was executed to great effect during their 3-1 victory on Monday evening.
Jurgen Klopp's side were left chasing shadows during the opening 45 minutes at the Gtech Community Stadium and found themselves two goals down at the break after a dismal collective showing. The Reds rallied after the restart, though failed to find an equaliser to capitalise on Tottenham Hotspur's defeat by Aston Villa.
Exposed by the very same tactics the Bees employed during last season's 3-3 draw between the sides, Liverpool remained unable to deal with balls played into the penalty area from open play and set-pieces.
