Liverpool moved up to second in the English Premier League as they overcame a rigid Brentford side to take all three points at Anfield.

Fabinho’s far-post header eased some of the pressure that had built up at Anfield over 43 goalless minutes, but the home fans were relieved when Bryan Mbeumo sliced wide from a fine position after the break.

Shortly afterwards, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain connected with an Andy Robertson cross to double the lead and Takumi Minamino came off the bench to side-foot home a third.

League leaders Manchester City are 11 points above Liverpool, having played a game more.

It will take a spectacular and sudden breakdown in the champions’ form, and a near flawless run-in from Liverpool to reverse those standings by May. City have dropped just 10 points so far this season.
