Liverpool ensured that there is still a remnant of life left in their title hopes as Jurgen Klopp's side put three past Brentford in a comfortable afternoon's work at Anfield.
The Bees put up a resolute first half display before Fabinho finally broke through just before the break with a simple header at the back post for the Reds.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain doubled the hosts' lead in the second half with an emphatic header from an Andy Robertson cross before Takumi Minamino punished the visitors for their failed attempt to play out from the back to seal all three points.
