The second half of Liverpool's clash at Brentford has been delayed after referee Simon Hooper picked up an injury. The Reds are 2-1 down after the first 45 minutes in west London and are staring at a fourth straight Premier League defeat.

Dango Ouattara finished off a signature Brentford long throw to put them ahead against Arne Slot's side around five minutes in. Kevin Schade then raced clear into the oceans of space behind Liverpool's defence to put the Bees 2-0 ahead.

Milos Kerkez has given Slot's men a lifeline after scoring just before the break. However, the second 45 was delayed after referee Hooper reportedly tweaked his hamstring. He was replaced by Tim Robinson at the Gtech Community Stadium.
