Brentford Mock Arne Slot With Brutal Post Moments After Beating Liverpool

Brentford took aim at Liverpool boss Arne Slot with a brutal social media post, just moments after defeating the Premier League champions.

The Reds are experiencing a torrid run of form under Slot's management, losing their last four league games in a row.

The reigning champions have lost against Crystal Palace, Chelsea, Manchester United and now the Bees in their past quartet of outings in the Premier League, with the only victory in that time being the midweek 5-1 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.

Keith Andrews's side took the lead inside just five minutes at the Gtech Community Stadium thanks to Dango Ouattara's opener from Michael Kayode's long throw, which Liverpool struggled to deal with.

The hosts doubled their lead through Kevin Schade, though Milos Kerkez halved the deficit for Liverpool before half-time in stoppage time.

Brentford added a third when they were awarded a penalty following a video assistant referee decision, which adjudged that Virgil van Dijk had fouled Ouattara inside the box. Igor Thiago proceeded to fire home from the spot.

Mo Salah added Liverpool's second before full-time to reduce the deficit again, but it was not enough for the champions to avoid a 3-2 defeat and slump to four top flight losses in a row.

Liverpool now trail leaders Arsenal by four points, with the Gunners having a game in hand which they play at the Emirates Stadium later this afternoon to Crystal Palace.

After the game in his post-match press conference, Slot said: "Like you said, disappointing, again.

"You are always hoping if you win a game of football during the week, although it is only two days' rest when you come over here, of course you are hoping for a better result, but I was also hoping and expecting a better performance, because the performance was far from what we are used to.

"Even if we are losing, our performances have been better than tonight."

In previous losses, Slot has been seen to make excuses for why his team have lost.

These have ranged from being critical of opposition teams playing long balls and for set pieces, while also even bizarrely criticising sides for changing their styles or their line-up when they play Liverpool.

The latter came to the fore in last weekend's 2-1 loss to Manchester United at Anfield when he took aim at Ruben Amorim not starting striker Benjamin Sesko.

Before that game, Slot said: "We've seen Sesko play the last three, four, five or six times, but they go to Liverpool they change the line-up. That's not the first where we've faced a team and they've done that."

After that loss, Slot added: "If you play United - who come here with a low block and playing a lot of long balls and you know that is going to be difficult as it's not easy to play through them and you don't get the chance to win the ball high up - and you concede after one or two minutes, it makes it harder."

And Brentford's social media team could not help but take aim at past comments from Slot with an X post which read 'must have been that unchanged team'.

The Bees had, of course, not made any changes to the side which beat West Ham United 2-0 at the London Stadium last Monday.
