Bradley Barcola provides first Premier League assist as Liverpool beat Brentford

Bradley Barcola followed his Champions League hat-trick by registering his first decisive contribution in the Premier League, setting up Alexander Isak for Liverpool’s second goal in their victory at Brentford on the seventh matchday.

The France-Togo winger produced the assist for Isak, whose goal helped secure an away win for the Reds. Barcola’s contribution was decisive in a match that underlined his growing influence since joining Liverpool.

The 24-year-old found his Swedish team-mate with a precise delivery, allowing Isak to complete Liverpool’s second goal. It was Barcola’s first goal involvement in the English league and another indication of his ability to affect important matches.

Having previously played for Paris Saint-Germain, Barcola remained on the pitch for the entire game at Brentford. His attacking work and role in the winning goal earned him a rating of 7 out of 10 from BeSoccer.

The performance also marked another step in the Franco-Togolese forward’s adaptation to English football. After making a significant impact in Europe, he is now beginning to establish himself in the Premier League with Liverpool.

Barcola is under contract with the Reds until June 2031 and is valued at 100 million euros by Transfermarkt. His latest display is likely to increase expectations around what he can achieve during his first season with the club.
