Brentford player ratings vs Liverpool as Fernandez impresses but Norgaard struggles

Álvaro Fernández

Made a incredible stop to deny Virgil van Dijk in the first half, and there wasn't anything he could to stop either of Liverpool's goals. Was much improved from Southampton and it would have been worse had it not been for his performance. 7

Kristoffer Ajer

Was beaten too easily by Fabinho for Liverpool's opener. Other than that, a firm showing. 6

Pontus Jansson

Had a early blunder which could have allowed the Reds an early lead, but played well. 6

Ethan Pinnock

Didn't look too unfazed, but he felt he could done more to stop Oxlade Chamberlain's goal given it came on his side. 6

Mads Roerslev

Performed very well against Liverpool's left-hand side duo Andy Robertson and Diogo Jota. 6

Shandon Baptiste

Did himself proud with a solid performance. 6

Christian Nørgaard

Played through Bryan Mbeumo for a glorious chance to make it 1-1, but had a moment to forget for Liverpool's third as he was caught in possession. 6

Vitaly Janelt

Had the Bees' first shot on goal which didn't trouble Allison, and played well in midfield. 6

Rico Henry

Made a superb block to deny a certain goal from Trent Alexander-Arnold in the first half and was incredible defensively against the Liverpool right-back, who is arguably the best player in his position in world football. 7

Bryan Mbeumo

Was almighty close to equalising in the second half, but saw his effort go millimetres wide of the post. An exemplary work-rate from the Frenchman on a difficult afternoon. 7

Ivan Toney

Got involved in the first half and tried to be a nuisance. Tested Allison towards the end but that was as good as it got. 7

Subs:

Sergi Canós

Didn't do too badly against Alexander-Arnold when he came on for Henry. 5

Yoane Wissa

Wasn't quite able to replicate his heroics against Liverpool in September. 5

Mathias Jensen

Put himself about and made a key interception to stop Liverpool breaking. 5
