Reds close to perfection but want more: Slot

December 03, 2024

The Straits Times

LIVERPOOL - Liverpool had to put in a near-flawless performance to defeat old rivals Manchester City, who have so often thwarted their league title ambitions, manager Arne Slot said on Dec 1.

The Reds thoroughly deserved to beat Pep Guardiola's side 2-0 to take a nine-point lead in the English Premier League in what was Slot's 18th win of 20 games in charge of Liverpool.

"If you want to win against City, you have to be perfect in every part of the game. We came close to perfection," he said, as jubilant fans chanted his name around Anfield, as they did after beating Real Madrid 2-0 in the Champions League on Nov 27.

"Playing against Real Madrid, against Manchester City, teams that are so good and have won so many trophies, coming out and winning against them...

"We're really happy with these two wins but we also understand we want to achieve more than this."

Goals in either half from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah at Anfield did not do justice to the scale of the Reds' domination, as City succumbed to a sixth defeat in a seven-game winless run.
