Liverpool finished a difficult 2025/26 campaign with a 1-1 draw against Brentford at Anfield. The match began with Liverpool playing strongly, but they did not score until Mohamed Salah produced a moment of magic. Brentford responded with a scrappy goal soon after, reflecting recurring inconsistencies. Player ratings for the farewell match for Salah and Andy Robertson ranged from solid to average. Alisson Becker returned from injury and made several sharp saves. Curtis Jones was effective at right-back and contributed to the goal. Ibrahima Konate struggled against Brentford’s attack. Virgil van Dijk led the defense without major errors. Andy Robertson delivered reliable defending and dangerous crossing.
"The result at Anfield, an anticlimactic 1-1 draw with Brentford, was a perfect encapsulation of what kind of season this has been for the Reds. They started the match strong, but could not find their way through until one final piece of Mohamed Salah magic created their only goal of the afternoon. A scrappy goal from the visitors would arrive soon after, as the same inconsistencies we've seen for months came to the fore one last time."
"Alisson Becker - 7/10 - Made his return from injury and looked pretty sharp with a few good stops from tight angles. I don't really blame him for the Brentford goal. Hopefully this is not the last time we see him play for Liverpool."
"Curtis Jones - 7.5/10 - Started at right-back and was solid in the role as he usually is. Made some tidy tackles and dribbles to get out of danger. Placed himself perfectly to get his goal following the Salah magic. His versatility has always been an asset."
"Andy Robertson - 7/10 - On his final Liverpool outing, Robbo was rock solid. Put in several dangerous crosses and was in the thick of a lot of the action down the left. Defended solidly as well. Legend."
