Arne Slot expressed dissatisfaction with a noticeable issue late in Liverpool’s victory against Tottenham
Liverpool’s manager Arne Slot was evidently displeased with how his team managed to cope against nine players, despite securing a 2-1 victory away at Tottenham. In his post-match conference, Slot remarked that he was relieved it didn’t result in a goal, but he emphasized that he anticipated a more straightforward conclusion to the game. Xavi Simons received a red card in the first half, leading to Liverpool going 2-0 ahead at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Richarlison managed to reduce the deficit before Cristian Romero was also sent off, yet Slot felt the attacking pressure kept coming from Spurs even with Liverpool enjoying a two-man advantage.

Slot addressed the Isak injury, and the news doesn’t appear encouraging at this stage, although there has yet to be a definitive medical update.
