Brentford head coach Keith Andrews described Liverpool defender Jeremy Jacquet as "cute and clever" for his part in Yehor Yarmoliuk's red card during the 2-1 defeat at Gtech Community Stadium. Andrews acknowledged Jacquet's positioning contributed to the incident, noting he was "walking in to Yarmo" without looking at the ball, while stressing Yarmoliuk must improve. The Ukraine international was shown a red card in first-half stoppage time for a headbutting action after VAR review.
Brentford finished the match with nine men after Vitaly Janelt received a second yellow. Andrews defended his team's emotional style, saying players "aren't robots" and praising their spirit. He also commented on a separate VAR decision involving a Liverpool penalty that was overturned, agreeing with Andoni Iraola that the intervention was incorrect.
The match saw goals from Victor Munoz and Alexander Isak for Liverpool.
