An early goal by Mohamed Salah was enough to give Liverpool a 1-0 Premier League win over Brentford on Saturday that keeps the pressure on rivals Manchester United in the hunt for Champions League football next season.
Their sixth league win in a row left Liverpool in fifth spot on 62 points, one behind fourth-placed United, but the Red Devils have two games in hand. Brentford are ninth on 50 points.
Brentford strung five across the back in an effort to thwart Liverpool's array of attacking riches, but they still went behind in the 13th minute as Virgil van Dijk headed Fabinho's cross back for Salah to bundle home his 100th goal at Anfield.
Bryan Mbeumo out-sprinted and out-muscled Van Dijk to fire home in the 40th minute for Brentford, but the flag went up for a marginal offside that was confirmed by VAR and the goal was disallowed.
Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo both wasted good chances to increase Liverpool's lead, but with Brentford only managing a single shot on target, Salah's goal proved enough for the home side to claim the victory.
