Following a highly challenging autumn for his side, Slot has seen Liverpool return to the Premier League’s top five with a six-match unbeaten run in all competitions, most recently winning 2-1 away at Tottenham Hotspur thanks to an Ekitike winner. The Dutchman expanded on what has led to the change in fortunes for the Reds.
"The main thing that has changed, apart from the second half at Brighton, is that we haven’t conceded as many chances as we did in the run we had before. I also think we’ve been a bit more lucky than in the games before," Slot continued.
"We played games where we were so much better than the other team, in terms of everything. The main thing people always look at is chance creation against chances you’ve conceded. In the last game against Spurs, I don’t think we had many more chances than them and against Brighton, it was equal as well. But we won those two games.
"Many times, we’ve been so unlucky with the result. In the last two games, I wouldn't say we don’t deserve it but it was more equal than many other games we’ve played and lost. That’s the nice part of football that the performance doesn’t always give you the result."
