Liverpool 2 Brentford 0: Diaz and Salah both on target to give Arne Slot perfect result in first home match
MO SALAH and Luis Diaz scored a goal in each half to round off a perfect Anfield Premier League debut for new boss Arne Slot.
It’s two goals from two for the Egyptian ace as Brentford defended bravely but ultimately came out on the wrong side of a 2-0 scoreline.

Not the usual blood and thunder associated with Liverpool who played with lots of control.
But Luis Diaz notched a prime Jurgen Klopp goal after a devastating counter attack assisted by Diogo Jota.
Brentford had their moments without creating anything clear cut while Liverpool were living dangerously in defence during the first 45.
Liverpool stepped up the ante in the second half, as Diaz was a hairline away from doubling the lead in the 64th minute.
Before Mo Salah bagged his second Prem goal of the season with a tidy corner finish past Mark Flekken – who kept the visitors at bay at times.
Sub Darwin Nunez missed a glorious chance in the 85th minute – but luckily his header was offside anyway.
It was Virgil van Dijk’s 100th Prem game at Anfield – he’s only lost twice. As Liverpool secured their second 2-0 victory of the campaign.
Spare a thought for the Super 6 player who was waiting for a 3-0 win to win £1million from a free bet!
The fan correctly predicted the results of five Premier League games selected by Sky Sports this weekend and came painfully close pocking the life-changing sum of money.
