Liverpool secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, thanks to two injury-time goals from substitute Darwin Núñez. The Uruguayan striker, who came off the bench, scored in the 90+1' and 90+3' minutes, sealing the win for the Premier League leaders. The victory extends Liverpool's lead at the top of the table to seven points over Arsenal. Manager Arne Slot's substitutions proved decisive, as Núñez delivered the winning goals. The Reds, who had drawn their previous two league games, dominated the match with 37 shots but were unable to score until Núñez's dramatic late intervention.
