Liverpool are the best football team “in the world”, according to Brentford boss Thomas Frank.
Darwin Nunez came off the bench to break the Bees’ resolve with a dramatic stoppage-time brace at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday and hand the Reds their 15th Premier League win of the season.
“I thought we played a really good game against the best team in the world right now,” Frank told BBC Sport after the final whistle.
“We did a lot of things right. We defended very well. We gave the opportunities away but not too big.”
He added: “We probably lacked the final cutting edge. We had some good chances and opportunities that never became opportunities because of the last pass or touch.Their centre-backs were exceptionally good.”
Asked if he thought Liverpool were noticeably better than their main rivals, Arsenal and Manchester City, Frank gave a clear answer.
“Yes. I think we just played City and Arsenal and now Liverpool, in a short amount of time. For me they’re a level above the two teams,” he insisted.
“They’re complete. Their work ethic, the way they track back, are good indicators. They’re so good all over the pitch. Such a threat going forward. These are really, really good.
“It’s the best team in the Premier League and the world. They’re huge favourites to win it [the title].”
The result ensures that Liverpool will end the weekend at least four points ahead of second-placed Arsenal in the Premier League table with a game in hand, pending the outcome of the Gunners’ encounter with Aston Villa.
