Arne Slot reaction — Liverpool boss on win over Fulham, Ngumoha and Salah stunners Feeling good after that win? "Happier than us losing 4-0 and 2-0.
So yeah good first half. We were close a few times and then Rio had a great moment. Just before that I felt that Fulham got a bit more into the game so it was really helpful that Rio had a great 1v1 moment and then Mo finished one off.
Quite comfortable at halftime. " Ngumoha's goal was special: "One of his strength is dominating the 1v1. We've seen this season as he gets more and more and more playing time and that's what he deserves.
When he plays, he plays really well and today he scored which is vital in football. Goals matter a lot. " Team room must be a great place right now: "It's a better place than it was 2-3 days ago or a week ago but it's also not that after we win everything is good again.
