BRENTFORD PLAYER RATINGS: David Raya - 7. The goalkeeper made a splendid save to push Jota’s shot on to the post. A secure and confident performance despite conceding three goals Getty Images

Kristoffer Ajer - 6. The Norwegian made a brilliant last-gasp clearance off the line. He put his body on the line to protect the goal throughout the game. Getty Images

Pontus Jansson - 6. The Swede was strong at the back and hit the bar to help create his team’s second goal. An effective and rugged performance. Getty Images

Ethan Pinnock - 6. The defender put his team into the lead from close range but his elation was cut short by injury and he struggled in the build-up to Jota’s equaliser. He hobbled off in the 42nd minute and was replaced by Jorgensen. Getty Images

Sergi Canos - 7. The Spaniard’s cross gave Pinnock the easiest of chances to open the scoring. He stopped Robertson rampaging and can be pleased with his display against his former club. Getty Images

Frank Onyeka - 5. The Nigerian battled hard but was sometimes overwhelmed. He was replaced in the 86th minute by Baptiste. Getty Images

Christian Norgaard - 6. The Dane found it difficult to escape the Liverpool press in the early stages but grew into the game and his pass helped set up the opening goal. He made way for Wissa in the 78th minute. AFP

Vitaly Janelt - 7. The German used his strength and tenacity to score Brentford’s equaliser. That moment reflected a robust and energetic performance. Getty Images

Rico Henry - 6. The 24-year-old had his hands full with Salah but showed pace and intelligence. On one occasion he outran the Egyptian striker. Getty Images

Bryan Mbeumo - 6. The Frenchman caused the defence problems when he ran at them and one effort was cleared off the line. He needs to finish more effectively. Getty Images

Ivan Toney - 7. The striker was dominant in the air and linked well with Mbeumo. His touch to set up the first goal was exquisite. Getty Images

SUBS: Mathias Jorgensen - 6. The Dane joined the action in the 42nd minute when Pinnock limped off. He made a number of crucial interceptions. AFP

Shandon Baptiste - 6. The 23-year-old came on for Onyeka and played a role in his side's third goal with a cross that caused havoc in the Liverpool box. EPA

Yoane Wissa - 7. The winger scored his first Premier League goal just four minutes after replacing Norgaard. His composure amid the chaos in the box was impressive. Getty Images

LIVERPOOL PLAYER RATINGS: Alisson Becker - 6. The Brazilian could have done better for all three Brentford goals. He needed to take control in the air. Getty Images

Trent Alexander-Arnold - 4. The 22-year-old was sub-par at both ends of the pitch. His positioning was questionable on two goals and he did little going forward. AFP

Joel Matip - 6. The centre back made a splendid clearance on the line, adjusting his feet to ensure he made the right contact with the ball. He should have been stronger in the challenge for Brentford’s third goal. AFP

Virgil van Dijk - 5. The Dutchman struggled to come to terms with Toney’s physicality. He looked unusually unsettled by the striker’s presence. Getty Images

Andrew Robertson - 3. The Scot was disconcertingly poor. He rarely got forward and was tentative while defending. Getty Images

Jordan Henderson - 5. The captain produced a perfect cross for Jota’s equaliser but he did not put his stamp on the midfield. AP

Fabinho - 5. The Brazilian should have cut out the opening goal but fell asleep at the back post. He supplied a lovely pass for Salah’s goal but was unable to dictate the pace. AP

Curtis Jones - 7. The 20-year-old should have closed down Canos for the opening goal but his attacking play was excellent. He was rewarded when he fired in a splendid goal, his last kick of the match before being replaced by Firmino. Getty Images

Mohamed Salah - 7. The Egyptian never stopped moving and worrying defenders. He took his goal with aplomb but missed a sitter that would have sewn up the game. Getty Images

Diogo Jota - 7. The Portuguese was always dangerous and was unfortunate not to score more than one goal. His first touch let him down, though. Getty Images

Sadio Mane - 3. The Senegalese is in a dip in form. He was wasteful in possession and never looked like scoring. Reuters

SUBS: Roberto Firmino - 5. The Brazilian came on for Jones in the 68th minute. He never got to the pace of the game and had little impact. AP

Mohamed Salah scored his 100th Premier League goal for Liverpool but the league leaders were still held to a draw by Brentford as the two sides played out a 3-3 thriller on Saturday.

Both sides had efforts cleared off the line in a lively opening before Ethan Pinnock gave Brentford the lead, stabbing the ball home at the back post after a clever free kick routine caught the Liverpool defence flat-footed in the 27th minute.

That lead was short-lived as Diogo Jota headed home Jordan Henderson's cross to put the Reds level four minutes later, and Salah put his side in front in the 54th with his 100th goal in 151 league appearances for Liverpool.

Brentford refused to give up, levelling in the 63rd minute when defender Pontus Jansson swivelled in the box and hit the crossbar before Vitaly Janelt reacted quickest to head home the rebound.

Curtis Jones put Liverpool back in front four minutes later, cutting in from the left and unleashing a rocket that took a slight deflection before flying into the net as the visitors stepped up to a pace that Brentford struggled to match.

Salah could have put the game out of reach in the 77th minute but he lofted his chip just over the crossbar with only the keeper to beat. It was to prove a costly miss as Brentford snatched a dramatic equaliser through substitute Yoane Wissa in the 82nd minute.

There was still time for more drama as David Raya pulled off a superb save to deny Roberto Firmino and Ivan Toney had what looked to be a late winner for Brentford ruled out for offside.

The draw means Liverpool climb to 14 points after six games, one ahead of Manchester City, who beat Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge earlier in the day. Brentford are ninth on nine points.
