In the second half, Brentford continued to create chances. In the 60th minute, a foul by Van Dijk on Dango resulted in a penalty after a VAR check confirmed it was inside the box. Igor Thiago converted the penalty, putting Brentford close to victory. Liverpool pushed for an equalizer, and in the 89th minute, Mohamed Salah scored after a mistake from Brentford, but it wasn’t enough to avoid defeat.
