Brentford had every reason to be happy before the Liverpool game. The Bees were fourth at the table, were above the Reds for the first time since 1938, and were unbeaten in the Premier League up to this match. But, one stupid decision cost them a big victory over an England giant. Deep in injury time, Ukrainian Yarmoliuk head-butted Liverpool defender Jacquet after one provocation, earning a red card in the process. It has to be said that the decision was a bit harsh but nevertheless, it was just the thing the Reds needed to avoid a defeat, and they used it.Nice goal from Isak🙌🌚 https://t.co/757i8lf8A4— Samuel Owusu Asamoah🇫🇷 (@BIG_SNIPEZ178) October 17, 2026 Apart from two goals in a 2-1 win, Liverpool created only two chances during the entire match. Bradley Barcola missed a sitter, then got a yellow card after only 30 minutes, and Isak was invisible until he scored a winner, while Brentford played much better and even scored minutes before Yarmoliuk’s dismissal. Andoni Iraola needed this win very much, considering he had problems with injures and is facing a tough schedule, with Villarreal, Brighton, Chelsea and Arsenal up next, Individual qualities from Munoz and Isak got him that.Victor Munoz goal for Liverpool today🔥 https://t.co/5f5EhwtdFx— Oluwakayode🇨🇦 (@Khaytweets) October 17, 2026 There was nothing interesting to see in the first 20 minutes. The home team respected Liverpool and were happy to sit at the back without attacking much. And then in the 20th minute after one Brentford attack they made a mistake and Barcola got the ball. He was all alone in front of the Brentford keeper Caoimhin Kelleher but amazingly managed to miss the entire goal. From than on, it was all bad for Liverpool fans. Szoboszlai got injured in the 32nd minute and had to come out, Barcola was all alone at the edge of the penalty area but again missed the entire goal, the Liverpool penalty was overturned by VAR (it was the right call) and finally, they conceded in the 44th minute. Igor Thiago made a perfect cross and Keane Lewis-Potter was all alone and easily scored for 1-0. But a glimmer of hope for Iraola’s men appeared deep in injury time when Yarmoliuk head-butted Jacquet. The replay showed it wasn’t such a straight (or big) hit and Yarmoliuk even pushed the Liverpool defender with his chest first, but the referee decided to show him the red card anyway.Brentford had one man less on the field in the second half, but it didn’t look like that at all. The first chance for Liverpool in the second period was in the 58th minute, when Mac Allister took a great shot, but Kelleher was there to save it. But individual qualities and speed of Victor Munoz were displayed in the 62nd minute. Wirtz assisted almost from his own half and the Spanish winger ran for around 40 meters before sending the ball into the net for 1-1. It was the spark Liverpool needed to finally make a proper push for all three points. The complete turnaround happened 20 minutes from time, when Barcola headed the ball back to Isak who used a very tight space to unleash a precise shot in the right bottom corner for 2-1. Brentford was forced to attack with 10 men, but they failed to even to create a proper chance until the end.100 – Erling Haaland netted his 100th non-penalty goal in the Premier League, taking just 139 appearances to do so, the fastest of any player in the competition’s history. Centurion. https://t.co/aXQjGmYjGZ— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) October 17, 2026 Many were suspicious that Enzo Marseca would be able to replace Pep Guardiola as the Manchester City boss. But so far, it’s been a smooth transition. The Italian certainly got some big help at the transfer market but still, the Citizens have managed to win all six matches in the Premier League so far, and today, after a 3-2 win over Ipswich, Maresca became the first manager to record victory in his opening seven Premier League games at a new club.🚨 HAALAND SECOND GOAL 🔥 Erling Haaland scores his second goal for Manchester City against Ipswich Town! ⚽ https://t.co/Cvkly078AU— Football on Predict (@FConPredict) October 17, 2026 Rivals will say that the Citizens had an easy schedule so far and faced only Liverpool among stronger teams but Marseca doesn’t care. Ipswich started the season well but were too weak against City and the Italian even decided to rest a couple of starters against the Tractor boys. One of those who played all 90 minutes was Erling Haaland. The Norwegian is know to be lethal against weaker teams and he displayed that today too with a brace. He scored his 100th non-penalty goal in the Premier League, which is the fastest in history, considering he did it with only 139 appearances. Foden got the start and repaid it with a goal, while Ipswich were never close to a draw in this game, despite getting the penalty in the 90th minute.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 7SaturdayEverton – Chelsea 0-2 (0-0)/Neto 46, 90+1/Brentford – Liverpool 1-2 (1-0)/Lewis-Potter 44 – Munoz 62, Isak 70/Fulham – Hull 1-0 (1-0)/Iwobi 33/Man.City – Ipswich 3-2 (2-1)/Foden 19, Haaland 34, 69 – Maeda 21, Flemming 90(p)/19.30: (2.35) Newcastle (3.50) Aston Villa (2.90)Sunday16.00: (2.10) Bournemouth (3.45) Sunderland (3.50) 16.00: (1.55) Brighton (4.50) Crystal Palace (5.40) 16.00: (2.40) Leeds (3.45) Man.Utd.
