« I liked what we did »

Arne Slot said he was pleased with what he saw by Liverpool players, as the Reds leaked the winners 1-0 over Everton to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to 12 points.

Diogo Jota struck shortly after halftime in front of a typically stormy crowd of Anfield to give the slot side and put an end to the nine-maca.

Beto had a goal from the first half for offside, while David Moise’s team may have had the good fortune to finish the game with eleven players after the jar of James Tarkovsky’s breakdown by Alexis Mak Alistair.

The result extends the invincible Liverpool in the Premier League to 26 games and moves them within 13 points of the title with eight games. And the slot was pleased with the display of his side.

« I liked what we did a lot more than in the guests’ game, where we scored two goals (2-2), but we hardly created anything, » Slot said.

« We were almost constantly in their last third today, but it is still difficult to get because of the number of players who return around their 18 -yard box and the way they can protect themselves.

« We encountered a team that was not lost for nine games in a row. So we knew it was also the Mersiside derby, we were confronted with a very strong team, especially defensive. »

The slot was also asked about Tarkovsky’s challenge, but Liverpool’s boss was not in the mood to go into the debate.

« So many people have given their opinion on this and even people who are not in favor of Liverpool, » Slot said.

« They were so clear in their comments that I didn’t need to say anything else about it.
