Liverpool produced a stunning late show to get back to winning ways in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. Substitute Darwin Nunez answered his critics with a memorable stoppage-time brace as the Reds eventually beat Brentford 2-0 to avoid a third consecutive frustrating top-flight draw.

That late drama saw Arne Slot’s side open up a seven-point gap at the top of the table before main title rivals Arsenal host Aston Villa in the late kick-off at the Emirates Stadium. Liverpool produced a total of 37 shots in a thrilling, end-to-end contest against the Bees, which per Opta Sports is the most any away team has mustered in a Premier League game for more than 20 years.

However, they initially could not find a way through a side who boasted one of the strongest home records in the division, with Dominik Szoboszlai’s effort against the crossbar the closest they came before Nunez’s last-gasp heroics. Follow Brentford vs Liverpool reaction live below!

Brentford 0-2 Liverpool

Incredible late drama in west London as the oft-maligned Darwin Nunez emphatically silences his critics with a vital stoppage-time brace off the bench that ends Liverpool’s run of draws and sends them seven points clear at the Premier League summit... for now.

Over to Arsenal at home to Aston Villa this evening to see if they can get that gap quickly back down to four.

I daresay a few hearts will have sunk at the Emirates after that dazzling late show across the capital.
