'It's what we dream for' - Mohamed Salah's big Liverpool moment spoilt by brilliant Bees
It was portrayed as a "insane game", a "wild ride" and something Brentford could merely fantasize about as the recently advanced side fought against eminent loss twice to draw with title-challengers Liverpool.
"That is football," Liverpool supervisor Jurgen Klopp said a short time later.
In an important and upside down experience at the Brentford Community Stadium, the hosts scored an emotional late equalizer to make it 3-3 after Curtis Jones hoped to have fixed triumph for Liverpool.
Previous Arsenal and England striker Alan Smith was dazzled, asserting on Sky Sports: "If Brentford can do this to Liverpool, they can do this to anybody."
Brentford chief Thomas Frank said they "went head to head with probably the best group in Europe".
His players did a lap of honor at full-time, the fans were singing long after the last whistle and Brentford goalscorer Vitaly Janelt was in dismay.
"I don't know appreciate is the right word. It was a wild ride," said Klopp. "Brentford merited a point. I generally approve of tolerating it when you play this sort of football."
'It's what we dream for as children's
Seven years prior, Brentford were playing in League One.
Focus back Ethan Pinnock, who opened the scoring, started his vocation in non-League football with Dulwich Hamlet and Forest Green Rovers.
Also, goalkeeper David Raya - who Klopp said "could have the shirt with number 10 on" - was borrowed at Southport six years prior.
"It was an insane game. We went head to head," Raya revealed to BBC Sport. "Liverpool had their spells yet we played all around well and were strong. It was an extraordinary game for the neutrals too."
Previous England striker Alan Shearer disclosed to BBC Match of the Day: "Brentford were clever, daring and caused Liverpool all kind of issues. They had an approach that worked flawlessly."
Janelt added to Sky Sports: "We drew 3-3 against Liverpool, it's what we dream for as children. Before the game we said we will attempt the best against Liverpool - perhaps the best group on the planet - and presently we draw 3-3."
Previous Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp said there was a genuine association between the Brentford players adding that they "play with guts".
"Such countless groups come up and they need to play the ideal game, they need to outflank Liverpool," Redknapp revealed to Sky Sports.
"It won't occur. You must discover a method of winning, getting results. That is the reason I have such esteem for what they are doing."
Ex-Brentford striker Marcus Gayle added: "This has been really taking shape for the last five or six years. The brand of football is fitting for the Premier League and likely more qualified than it was for the Championship."
Salah's 100-objective achievement eclipsed
Brentford's presentation took the spotlight from Mohamed Salah who is experiencing the fantasy himself, proceeding to break records as one of Liverpool's deadliest goalscorers.
He put Liverpool 2-1 up from the get-go in the second half with his 100th Premier League objective for the club.
The Egyptian might have made it 4-2 when he chipped over the bar in the wake of being put clean through, with Klopp conceding subsequently that Salah would "love to have 101 objectives" to his name.
Salah's objective came in his 151st association game for Liverpool - which means he arrived at 100 objectives in less appearances than some other player in the club's set of experiences.
Just Alan Shearer for Blackburn (124 games), Harry Kane for Tottenham (138) and Sergio Aguero for Man City (147) have arrived at 100 Premier League objectives for a solitary club in less appearances.
"It's a mind blowing second," Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson disclosed to Sky Sports. "He's been mind blowing since the time he went to the club."
