Reds coach Slot said in an interview after the game: "The atmosphere in the last few minutes was simply incredible.

"I thought the feeling of winning the league championship here last season would definitely be more special than beating Bournemouth at home, but the last six or seven minutes - wow, it was so shocking.

"It was a very wonderful game. We won in the end, which made me feel even more excited."

Talking about the touching scenes of fans paying tribute to Jota, Slot said: "They (the fans) sang for him (Jota) before the game, sang it again in the first and 20 minutes, and at the end of the game. All of this was moving and powerful.

"His wife is here and the children are here. It may be of great significance to them to feel that he is so deeply loved here. ”

The Reds have another defensive omission, but Slot was satisfied with the player's reaction

Liverpool's only disadvantage in this game is the omission of defense. The goalkeeper had to grab the chance of loose defense.

In response, Slot said: "In general, you may complain that our players did not try their best to chase back, but they did this time.

"The only thing we need to do better, of course this is in the ideal world, where did we lose the ball? The best way is not to lose the ball. If you really want to lose... it should also be after the shot, or at least turn into a corner kick or a shooting opportunity, and you must not lose the ball in front of your own penalty area.

"But what I value more is how hard they try to chase back? With these two goals conceded, they really rushed back to defense with all their might. ”
