Match Report

Liverpool were held to a frustrating 1–1 draw by Brentford at Anfield on the final day of the Premier League season, despite dominating possession and creating far more chances throughout the contest. The first half ended goalless before the hosts finally broke the deadlock through Curtis Jones on 58 minutes, only for Brentford to level almost immediately when Kevin Schade equalised in the 64th minute to silence the home crowd.

Liverpool's statistical superiority was considerable — 60% possession, 14 corner kicks, 24 total shots, and an expected goals figure of 3.04 compared to Brentford's 1.56 — yet they could not find a winner despite a flurry of late substitutions including Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson. Our pre-match AI model had rated a Liverpool win as the most likely outcome at 54%, and while the performance reflected that favouritism, the result ultimately did not. A tense finale saw five yellow cards distributed across both sides in the closing minutes, with Ibrahima Konaté receiving his booking before being substituted off, adding to a fractious end to proceedings.
