Liverpool manager Arne Slot boiled his side’s return to winning ways down to a very simple but big difference: set pieces.
The reigning Premier League champions limped into Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt on the back of four straight defeats. Not since 1953 had the club lost five on the spin. While there were clear defensive issues at play during these losses, Slot routinely bemoaned his side’s lack of dead-ball efficiency.
