Liverpool 2-0 Brentford: Arne Slot enjoys first Anfield win as Reds boss - with Luis Diaz and Mo Salah on target for hosts against the Bees

Goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah ensured Arne Slot's first competitive match as Liverpool boss at Anfield ended in a comfortable 2-0 win over Brentford.

Diaz marked his 100th Liverpool appearance with the opening goal following a rapid counter-attack from a Brentford corner.

Salah set Diogo Jota away after the Reds cleared the set-piece, with the Portuguese finding Diaz to run through on goal to fire in the opener.

Brentford carried a threat during the match, but were undone when Salah was played through in the second half, with the Egyptian calmly slotting into the far corner.
