In pictures: Liverpool v Brentford<\/h3>\n

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has hailed Darwin Nunez as his \u201cstandout\u201d player from the Reds\u2019 victory over Brentford on Sunday. The Uruguay international, who had two goals ruled out before teeing up Mohamed Salah\u2019s opener, produced a scintillating performance at Anfield to help his side to a 3-0 victory. Nunez has come under fire in recent weeks and was labelled wasteful following Liverpool\u2019s trip to Luton last weekend.<\/p>\n

Nunez proved to be a constant menace during the visit of Brentford and found the back of the net twice in the first half. But the strikes, which included a sensational overhead kick, were both ruled out for offside. The former Benfica star linked up with Salah time and time again throughout the encounter and impacted the game in a positive way as Liverpool continued their fine form at Anfield.<\/p>\n

\u201cStandout was Darwin because Brentford wanted long balls so he started the pressing,\u201d Klopp told reporters after the final whistle. \u201cWork-rate was insane.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liverpool had won all five of their previous home Premier League matches this season ahead of the visit of Brentford and made light work of their west London opponents as Salah slotted past Mark Flekken six minutes before the interval.<\/p>\n

The Egypt international then headed in a cross from Kostas Tsimikas just after the hour mark after being left unmarked in the penalty area. And Diogo Jota wrapped up the three points in the 74th minute as he curled a sumptuous effort into the corner of the goal from the edge of the box.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoal No 200 in England, right?\u201d continued Klopp as he spoke about Salah\u2019s brace. \u201cExceptional, played a super game today. Two players always around him, he kept the ball. We had so many good moments first half. Composure for first goal is insane. No doubt in that area, you see it on the scoresheet. Special player.”<\/p>\n
