Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade put the Bees two goals up before Milos Kerkez got one back for Liverpoolon the stroke of half-time.
Igor Thiago scored a penalty on the hour mark to make it 3-1 to Brentford with Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah scoring on 89 minutes to make the closing stages interesting.

Henderson said on?TNT Sports: “From start to finish, we stuck together, we knew it would be difficult at times.
“Liverpool are a world-class team with world-class players. At times, you’re going to have defending to do, we did.
“The way we defended together, the way we stayed composed on the ball and try to, rather than just kick it forward at times, play the long ball in behind to someone running in like Dams [Mikkel Damsgaard] did to Kev [Schade] on the second goal and [Igor] Thiago was a threat all night and he’s been like that all season to be fair.
“Overall, I think it was a really good performance and we deserved the win in the end.”

England international Henderson, who played 492 times for Liverpool in all competitions over 12 seasons, added: “You look all over the pitch, there’s not much to go at, they’re all quality players, I don’t really see a weakness in the team.
“I know there’s been results of late that haven’t been great for them, but, for me, they’re still top players and a top, top team, and it’s a matter of time before they get in a rhythm and get going.
“I think there’s been reasons why they haven’t hit the heights from last season, but they’re still a world-class team and wherever you look on the pitch, there’s world-class players, so it’s always going to be difficult, but I thought the lads dug deep, stuck together and caused some problems on the counter.”
When asked if it was strange facing Liverpool, Henderson added: “I think a little bit before because I’ve been at Liverpool for so long.
“It’s always deep inside us forever there. I’d been there so long. It was my life for 12 years.
“It was a little bit strange, but having said that, I knew when the whistle goes, it was business as usual and I was focused and I’d be ready to go and I’d be in the right frame of mind, which I was.”
