And with that, I’m off. Here’s Andy Hunter’s match report again. Bye!
Arne Slot has a chat:
It sounds weird, but I think we had a really good start. But then one moment where we underestimated the situation led to a chance and a goal. You have to work really hard to come back in the game, and it really helped to score the equaliser just before half-time.
The first games we also conceded one or two chances but those ones didn’t go in. The last few games almost every chance we concede goes in. This is quite normal during a season. Because we went 1-0 down for a long time it was a game, before we made it 3-1. Then you saw maybe how good we are.
On the title chase: “It’s a boring answer, but you go game by game. You know how many games you still have to play. Especially in the Premier League you see results where you are like, I didn’t expect this. If this happened in the Eredivisie you might think, OK, this is it.”
And on the contract situations with Van Dijk, Salah and Alexander-Arnold: “We don’t talk about contracts in public. This is something for the players. But it’s clear that Mo again had a good game. Virgil had a very good game. Trent for most parts was very good, with one or two exceptions.”
