Darwin Nunez was Liverpool's hero after firing them to a 2-0 win over Brentford, taking them six points clear of Arsenal in the Premier League title race.

Liverpool defeated Brentford 2-0, whereas Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes suffered another blow after a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa. Bournemouth boosted hopes of European football next season with a 4-1 win over Newcastle United.

Arsenal has slipped up in the Premier League title race by squandering a two-goal lead to draw with Aston Villa after Liverpool beat Brentford thanks to a stoppage-time double from Darwin Nunez.

Uruguayan forward Darwin Nunez's late double fire brought Liverpool a 2-0 win Saturday against Brentford in an English Premier League week 22 match. The Reds' 25-year-old forward scored in two minutes, in the 91st and 93rd minute, to bring victory to the visitors at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium.

Slot then showed a steel of his own in both defending and praising his player, as well as his team’s form. The Liverpool manager first disagreed with the phrasing of questions that portrayed a “disappointing season” for Nunez, insisting it has just been a case of much more competition for places in a team that is top of the league.

Darwin Nunez scored twice in stoppage time as Liverpool beat Brentford 2-0 to strengthen its spot in first place in the Premier League on Saturday. Second-placed Arsenal will look to restore the four-point gap to Liverpool by defeating Aston Villa later.
