Arsenal – Liverpool 2:2: what Arne Slot said

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot told Match of the Day after his team managed to win back a draw with Arsenal: “With two behind us, it’s good to see that we can get back into the game, especially with one less day to recover. I’m pleased to be stronger in the second half than in the first.

“You come here to win, but maybe a draw is the result we can take with us, especially after the first half. Coming here you know they have a lot of quality players and you can have tough moments in the game.”

“I was pleased to score from the set piece. We needed this because in open play we weren’t dominant at all. They deserved to be 2-1 at half-time, but the way we performed in the second half… the half was impressive.”

On Liverpool’s second goal: “Two minutes before the second goal, Trent (Alexander-Arnold) was closer to the 18-yard box and he got a bit of criticism for a pass. The good thing about Trent is that he tried again and it resulted in a great team. target.

“Darwin (Nunez) didn’t play that many games, but now he has to play every game because we need him to get things done. He continued to move forward with energy.”

“In the first 10-15 minutes after the break we were better than in the first half. But having three quality players brings a lot of energy and that helped us score the goal.”
