Welcome to this Hayters TV live blog! See below for live updates as Brentford host Premier League leaders Liverpool.

AWAITING MANAGERS

Our reporter Ravit Anand awaits both managers to finish their TV commitments.

STAY TUNED FOR POST-MATCH PRESS CONFERENCES

Stay tuned to hear and watch post match reactions from Arne Slot and Thomas Frank!

REPORTER'S VIEW

Ravit Anand:

“Liverpool leave it late but they have opened up a seven-point gap over Arsenal at the top of the table. Incredible finish to the game.

“Nunez at the double, but the Bees more than played their part in an end-to-end clash at the Gtech. Could this be one of the results Slot looks back on at the end of the season as a title-winning moment?”

REPORTER'S VIEW

Ravit Anand:

“Nunez and London buses. Wait long enough, two come at once. Liverpool spent the best part of knocking the Brentford door down and Nunez has bulldozed through in quick succession.”

FULL TIME

And that’s that.

Liverpool move seven points clear at the top of the Premier League, and put much needed breathing space between themselves and Arsenal.

90'+3
NUNEZ AT THE DOUBLE

He’s done it again!

Liverpool have their second. On the counterattack, Harvey Elliot plays it across to Nunez who takes one touch and blasts it into the back of the net!

Liverpool are extending their lead at the top of the Premier League.

90'+1
LIVERPOOL WIN IT AT THE DEATH

Darwin Nunez has only gone and won it for Liverpool!

Off the bench, he taps in from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross to break Brentford hearts.

89'
SALAH WIDE

That could’ve been that.

Mohamed Salah tries to bend it in but goes narrowly wide.

87'
FINAL LIVERPOOL SUBSTITUTE

Federico Chiesa enters the fold, replacing Cody Gakpo.

84'
BRENTFORD GETTING CLOSER

It’s becoming a very leggy game.

Great work from Schade and Yehor Yarmolyuk to play in Yoane Wissa, but Allison claims his strike well.

80'
DOUBLE LIVERPOOL SUBSTITUTION

Harvey Elliot and Curtis Jones come on for Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.

76'
NUNEZ FIRES OVER

Not the impact Darwin Nunez was hoping for so far.

He fires well over the bar from the edge of the box.

73'
ALLISON HALTS MBUEMO

So close for Brentford!

Mbeumo cuts inside in the box but his shot is saved comfortably by Allison.

69'
ROERSLEV BOOKED

Another Brentford yellow this time Roerslev is into the book for tugging Gakpo’s shirt.

68'
BRENTFORD BOOKING

Christian Norgaard enters the book for a foul on Alexis Mac Allister.

67'
ALMOST AN INSTANT IMPACT

Robertson and Nunez almost combine instantly, but the Uruguayan heads wide.

65'
SCHADE ON

Kevin Schade comes on to replace Vitaly Janelt.

65'
ROBERTSON, NUNEZ ON

Andy Robertson and Darwin Nunez come on for Konstantinos Tsimikas and Luis Diaz.

63'
NO PENALTY

Flekken fluffs his lines after a save, he then brings down Luis Diaz but a penalty isn’t awarded.

Replays show Diaz fell to floor with contact.

58'
HOSTS PUSHING FOR GOAL

All of a sudden, the hosts are reminding Liverpool they’re still a threat. Mbeumo the latest to break the Reds high line and go through on goal, but credit to Alexander-Arnold for recovering and nullifying any shot on goal.

57'
BRENTFORD KEEPING SALAH AT BAY

It’s not been the best game for Mohamed Salah.

Keane Lewis-Potter, who is an unorthodox left back, has dealt with the Egyptian well.

REPORTER'S VIEW

Ravit Anand:

“Liverpool picking up where they left off and knocking on the Brentford door. Chances for Gakpo, Diaz and Salah. Can they prise it open? The Bees need to weather this storm.”

50'
GAKPO DENIED

Another Liverpool chance!

Gakpo is played in behind and his dink towards goal is blocked.

48'
BUSINESS RESUMED

Corners apiece for both sides already.

This second half has started just like the first did.

SECOND HALF BEGINS

We’re underway for the second half!
