Liverpool boss Arne Slot, speaking to TNT Sports: “We started off really well and got a big chance from a set-piece which was close to making it 2-0.
“Unfortunately, like last week, we conceded a set piece. It was such a sloppy goal. The second half I saw a completely different intensity. We went close a few times. Like so many times this season, we hit the post and bar. We were not able to control their players. They played with a lot of midfielders today.”

On Liverpool fan booing at full-time: “That’s probably got something to do with us not winning. It completely makes sense people are disappointed if Liverpool don’t win.”
On fans booing the decision to substitute Rio Ngumoha off: “I don’t think it was some of them – there were a lot that didn’t agree with the change which is completely understandable.
“He was having problems with his muscles and when I asked him he said he was not sure he could continue. I knew this would be the reaction because he is such a good player. So often in football, people don’t know everything. I am the manager and I need to make decisions.
“Knowing why makes more sense for people.”
