Liverpool, Fabinho dominate Brentford 3-0 without key players

Midfielders

Fabinho – 9 (Man of the Match)

Fabinho broke through for Liverpool late in the first half, heading a bouncing corner just inside the far post. He continued on offense, firing off another brilliant shot from range onto Fernandez in the second half. Fabinho finished the match with a stellar 92% pass accuracy, including four key passes. In matches with varying starting line-ups without Salah, Mane, and Keita, Fabinho continues to be a composed but aggressive force for the Reds, with three goals in three games in January.

Jordan Henderson – 6

The Skipper made a few mistakes on Sunday but also made a couple of plays to write home about. Henderson was consistent and composed in his passing but failed to make any meaningful plays.

Curtis Jones – 8

Jones looked extremely comfortable with the ball and was able to help pace the midfield with composure on Sunday. He was eager and willing to charge into the Brentford box with the ball and found two shots on target in the second half. One was unfortunately sent straight to the keeper.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – 7

Ox found a space among three Brentford defenders to call for a leading cross from Robertson and net a diving header for his first Premier League goal of the season shortly before being subbed off for an ankle injury.
