Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Liverpool 1-1 Brentford. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Curtis Jones put the first mark on the match 58', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Liverpool led Shots on target 8-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Liverpool also shaded Corners 14-2.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Liverpool the favourite at 55.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
