Still commenting upon Brentford phenomenal 3-3 home tie achieved against Liverpool, Bees boss Thomas Frank stated:

It was a fantastic game, where we went toe to toe with one of the top teams in the Premier League, Europe and the world, a team that are potentially going to win the title, an unbelievable attacking side with a fantastic manager. But a team we drew 3-3 with, and could even have beaten. We constantly wanted to go forward. We gave more chances away then we have done in the first five games but we prefer to be attack-minded and press forward.

I am crazy proud of the performance and the players. We showed such great character to come from behind twice. I can’t remember when a team in the Premier League have scored three goals against Liverpool when they’ve been in front. Usually when they’ve been ahead they go on to win the game. Going forward we were unbelievably good but defensively we can do better… we were stretched in spells for the first two goals, and then we needed some big moments with saves from David Raya. That said they also cleared one off the line so it was a really promising, good performance”.
