Slot makes honest Liverpool admission following Brighton defeat

Arne Slot admits Liverpool deserved to lose against Brighton “The first half was an equal game and the second half they were the better team on the pitch,” Slot told BBC Match of the Day. “I think they deserved to beat us. The margins are very small as we’ve experienced a lot of times this season because their goal was only a few millimetres onside but they deserved that goal more than us in the second half.

” It’s the fifth time this season that Liverpool have lost in the league immediately following a Champions League game, which suggests that fatigue could be playing a part in their inconsistent form. Slot, though, emphasised the fact that they were missing forwards Mo Salah and Alexander Isak, while Hugo Ekitike was forced off injured early in the match. “You never know,” Slot said.

“There is always multiple factors. It doesn’t help when you are missing one of the top goal scorers this league has had in the last five years for the whole season already. “The other one that has scored so many goals for the club over the last eight years was not available as well and then after two minutes, Hugo Ekitike, who has shown what a goal scorer he is, has to go out as well – that is a lot for every team and that is not helpful for any team, let alone if you play a good Brighton team.
