Liverpool continued their strong start to the Premier League season, securing a 2-0 win against Brentford in Arne Slot's first home game as head coach at Anfield. The victory marks two wins in as many matches for Slot, as the team adapts to his managerial style.

The home crowd welcomed Slot enthusiastically, and the players responded quickly. Luis Diaz opened the scoring in just the 13th minute, capitalizing on a brilliant counter-attack initiated by Diogo Jota. The goal showcased the aggressive, fast-paced play reminiscent of Liverpool’s past under Jurgen Klopp.

Despite an early lead, Liverpool had to navigate a challenging second half. Brentford's Nathan Collins had a notable chance, forcing a smart save from Alisson, but the visitors struggled to find their finishing touch in the absence of Ivan Toney.

Mohamed Salah doubled Liverpool's lead, showcasing his remarkable form by scoring his second goal of the season. He coolly finished from Diaz’s pass, beating the offside trap to find the corner of the net.

Liverpool dominated the match, creating several additional opportunities, with Mark Flekken making crucial saves from Diaz and Andrew Robertson. Trent Alexander-Arnold struck the bar with a corner, and substitute Cody Gakpo also went close, but the Reds maintained control throughout.

With this solid performance, Arne Slot's side heads into next Sunday’s much-anticipated clash against Manchester United with confidence and momentum, aiming to extend their winning streak.
