Nigeria, Oct. 26 -- Liverpool's poor run of form continued on Sunday as they suffered a shock 3-2 defeat away to Brentford, while Manchester United, fresh from their famous win at Anfield, maintained their resurgence with a 4-2 victory over Brighton at Old Trafford.

At the Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford raced into an early lead through Dango Ouattara, who struck in the fifth minute to give the hosts a bright start.

The home side doubled their advantage just before halftime when Kevin Schade finished off Mikkel Damsgaard's clever assist.

Liverpool briefly found a lifeline in first-half stoppage time as Milos Kerkez pulled one back, but Brentford restored their two-goal cushion from the penalty spot in the 60th minute.
