He added: "It's something that makes me proud. I work really hard and everybody knows that, everybody sees that. I am motivated to keep breaking records and winning games."

Brentford piled plenty of pressure on Liverpool as they searched for an equalizer but keeper Alisson Becker only faced one shot on target.

Alisson has now kept 100 clean sheets in 228 appearances for the Reds.

Liverpool's win maintained their slim hopes of finishing in the top four but Jurgen Klopp's side will need Newcastle or Manchester United to slip up in multiple games if they are to leapfrog them in the table.

6 & 5 - Liverpool have now won six successive Premier League games, with each of the last five being by exactly one goal – they’re the first side in the competition to win five in a row by a single goal since Birmingham in December 2009. Margins. pic.twitter.com/nJaVWlZtdo
