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
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
