Wolves 1-2 Liverpool: What Arne Slot said

Liverpool coach Arne Slot spoke to Match of the Day after today’s win: “It’s always nice to win, especially away from home. The first 15/20 minutes weren’t that great. It was a really difficult start for us, but eventually we took control of the game.”

“No, it wasn’t good, not even in the last few minutes of the game. I think we did really well in the moments in between. You also have to acknowledge Gary O’Neil’s game plan. Although it sounds strange, he is. “I’ve done a really good job in the last six games.

“He has a really good game plan for every opponent and that was the case with us today. After the first 15/20 minutes we had more control of the game and also scored the goal.”

On Ait-Nouri’s goal: “The goal we conceded was definitely avoidable and unnecessary. It came at a bad time because we were completely in control of the game.”

“That goal brought them back into the game and the good thing for us is that we scored straight away to make it 2-1. Since only one goal made the difference, it was a difficult game until the end.”

To the top: “Feels good, you want to be up there, but that doesn’t mean much to me at the moment. If you look at Wolves they are down in the table but they played a lot better today.”

“It will tell me something after 19 games, but not after six.”
