Pontus Jansson added: "What an intense night that was. Hope you enjoyed it and thanks for that fantastic support!"

Virgil van Dijk then tweeted: "Wild game and not the result we came for. Keeping perspective is important though. A point earned and still unbeaten. Respect to Brentford. Now focus on the Champions League"

What did the managers say?

Brentford manager added when he spoke post-match with media outlets: " "If we could bottle this up then [there's] no problem with the petrol crisis. We played brave with big determination throughout the game. 

"Second half, when they went 2-1 up, we stayed in the game and then in the end we maybe could have won the game. I felt at times it was a little bit too open but we need to look into that."

Jurgen Klopp spoke with his club's website: "A wild, wild game. Offensively, I am really happy. I think in moments we played some of the best football we've played so far this season; we created top chances against a really well organised side. 

"They were very good, but obviously we struggled tonight with their long balls. I was not too happy with how we started the game and that's how we conceded the goal, a little bit. It was a situation where we could have been more organised. "
