Liverpool secured a vital win over Brentford in the Premier League today, and Thomas Frank has praised the league leaders for their all-round performance.
Despite dominating most of the game, Liverpool struggled to find the back of the net. Darwin Núñez came on as a substitute in the second half and scored twice in stoppage time.
Brentford managed to secure an impressive draw against Manchester City recently but were unable to trouble Liverpool this weekend. Their manager has now claimed that Liverpool are a level above Arsenal and Manchester City. He believes they are a complete team and their work ethic sets them apart from their title rivals. He also added that Liverpool are the best team in the league and the world right now.
Thomas Frank revealed to the BBC: “I think we’ve just played City and Arsenal and now Liverpool in a short amount of time. To me they’re a level above both teams. They’re complete. Their work ethic, the way they go about tracking, they are very good all over the pitch. They are very, very good. They are the best team in the Premier League (the title).
The Reds needed a win against Brentford
Liverpool will be delighted with their performance today, and it will be interesting to see if they can extend their lead at the top of the table in the coming weeks. They are currently seven points clear of second-placed Arsenal.
After dropping points against Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, Liverpool desperately needed three points today and Arne Slot will be delighted with the result. The Dutch coach has changed the game quite often this season with his substitutes, and he got it right again as Núñez and Harvey Elliott turned the game around for the Reds.
