Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain headed home from a fantastic Trent Alexander-Arnold delivery to pull one back for Liverpool against Brentford.
Brentford went into half-time with a two-goal cushion, and Jurgen Klopp didn’t mess around at the break, making three substitutions.
It was two players who started the game who linked up to give Liverpool a lifeline, however, with Oxlade-Chamberlain heading home from an Alexander-Arnold cross.
Liverpool are back in it that's to a spectacular ball from Trent Alexander-Arnold and a header by Oxlade-Chamberlain!

Liverpool get on the scoresheet and reduce the deficit down to one.
It's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's first goal since 23 January 2022.

It was a brave decision from Klopp to make the triple change, but Liverpool started the second half brightly.
