Thomas Frank admitted he took a ‘brave’ decision against Liverpool that nearly paid off as the Reds recorded a narrow 1-0 victory over Brentford on Saturday.
Mohamed Salah’s early strike earned all three points for Jurgen Klopp’s side, but they didn’t have things all their own way as the Bees fought in vain for a share of the spoils.
Playing a high line and pressing Liverpool hard, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, and Fabinho were all booked as they tried to stop Brentford attacks. Meanwhile, Alisson Becker was shown a yellow card for time-wasting, with Frank using such a fact to highlight that his side were unlucky and had done something right against the Reds.
