Arne Slot will need days — maybe weeks — to wrap his head around the fact that Liverpool couldn’t find the back of the net with their first 35 shots on Saturday, but the Reds escaped Brentford with a 2-0 stoppage-time victory in the end.

BRENTFORD 0-2 LIVERPOOL – Highlights, recap & analysis

90 minutes: 35 shots, 0 goals. 5 stoppage-time minutes: 2 shots, 2 goals — both scored by substitute Darwin Nunez, who had scored just 1 Premier League goal in 11 appearances since September entering the weekend. An unlikely hero, to say the least, but a huge relief for Liverpool as they remain seven points clear of Arsenal in the title race (while equal on games played for about two hours).
