Comeback gives Reds' Slot title thoughts
The Straits Times
|November 04, 2024
LONDON - Liverpool boss Arne Slot is "confident" his side can pose a serious title challenge after coming from behind to beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 to go top of the English Premier League on Nov 2.
-
The Reds deservedly trailed at half-time to Ferdi Kadioglu's sweet strike at Anfield.
But two quickfire goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah punished Brighton for not making more of their first-half superiority.
A 13th win in 15 games in charge for Slot takes Liverpool two points clear of Manchester City, who were beaten 2-1 at Bournemouth.
"We were outplayed in the first half," admitted the Dutchman.
"We didn't show up at all. The second half the players showed a different attitude and intensity.
"If you face a team like this and are 1-0 down and can come back to a 2-1 win, which in my opinion was deserved, that gives me a lot of confidence. More than the position we are in."
