Brentford pulled off an extraordinary 3-2 upset against Liverpool, the defending Premier League champions, on Sunday, October 26, 2025. The match, which commenced at 07:35 UK time, showcased Brentford’s tenacity and skill as they outclassed and outfought their opponents on their home turf.
The clash at Brentford’s Community Stadium highlighted the team’s determination and tactical prowess. Brentford surprisingly opened the scoring mere minutes into the match, signaling their intent to threaten Liverpool’s unquestionable stranglehold over the rest of the league. They kept the pace up, running the defense ragged and scoring whenever they were given a chance.
Liverpool—famed for their attacking glee—couldn’t get clicking and could rarely even be bothered to. While trying to assert their dominance back, they were met with a tough Brentford team that unreadably restricted the most potential chances on goal. Although the champions found the back of the net on two occasions, it wasn’t enough to claim even a draw against Bodo/Glimt.
Brentford’s high-tempo, cohesive counter-pressing display was punctuated with intelligence on and off the ball. In all cases, as with their third, they were ready to capitalise on lapses in concentration from Liverpool’s defence. The match served to exemplify the beautiful game’s penchant for the outrageous. It turns out even champions can be caught on the back foot.
This loss follows on the heels of Liverpool’s third-straight loss in Premier League play, leaving many to question their overall strategy and form at this time. This positive result voted massive confidence for Brentford. Together, they’re showing that they are an undeniable force to be reckoned with across the league.
