Liverpool beat Brentford 1-0 at home in the early hours of Sunday morning (7), with striker Mohamed Shana scoring the only goal of the match. The 30-year-old Egyptian international became the first player to score in 9 consecutive home matches in all competitions in the 130 years of Liverpool's existence, and the most important thing is that the Reds, after 6 consecutive victories in the English Premier League, are chasing down the 4th-placed Manchester United to a distance of 1 point, and the competition for the next UEFA Europa League ticket has rekindled the hope of the Reds.
Liverpool launched a blitzkrieg and opened the scoring in the first 13 minutes of the match with a header from Wahkil Wendy Jaques that was headed in by Mohamed Shana. The goal was significant for the Egyptian-American, who not only became the first Reds player to score in nine consecutive home matches, but also scored his 100th goal at home in the Anfield Stadium.
Liverpool's performance this season is going downhill, Sana is said to be the standard is not as good as before, but in fact, he has already scored 30 goals for the Reds in various matches this season, the same as the last two seasons have 31 goals scored in the same way, and is even expected to surpass the number of goals scored in the past two seasons.
However, Liverpool's win was a thrilling one as Binford striker McBiomo had a shot on goal but it was disallowed due to offside and the Reds were able to take all 3 points. It's worth mentioning that Liverpool's last 5 EPL matches have all been net wins of 1 goal, making them the first team to win 5 consecutive EPL matches with a net win of 1 goal since Birmingham in December 2009, and the match process has given the Reds' fans a lot of shock and awe.
Liverpool is now 1 point behind the 4th place Manchester United, but with 2 more matches to play, if they want to reach the top 4 in the next UEFA Europa League, they have to keep winning and hope that Manchester United will lose points.
