'One game at a time'

Liverpool manager Arne Slot, speaking to Amazon Prime: "I don't know if it was that much to do with intensity but we took more risk.

They overloaded the midfield a lot and we adjusted a half-tine and took the risk to play one v one all over. We had better chances in the first half and they weren't a goal threat.

"As much as this time, how good they are in Europe, sometimes a strong target man is better than someone a bit faster.

"Curtis Jones did an incredible pass and then you have someone with the pace of Lucho [Luis Diaz] to finish it off. The pass was as good as the goal in my opinion.

"You don't look ahead as a manager at the next three months. You're always one game at a time. We've got Aston Villa on Saturday, another tough game."

On Van Dijk: "Virgil sometimes gets criticised about not stepping into the midfield. Now I would advise these people to watch this game today because he was constantly on the front foot."

On Kelleher future: "That's in the future. Jaros is doing well and we have another goalkeeper as well. What I like about today is we only needed him five minutes from the end.

"We're hard to play through but sometimes they play through the press. I like the work rate of the players."
