After Liverpool missed the chance to gain on the teams around it in the Champions League race by losing 2-1 to Wolves, Arne Slot was left frustrated with his team.

Virgil van Dijk revealed that the Reds boss was "angry" with his players after they lost a fifth game of the season by conceding in stoppage time, with Andre's deflected effort beating Alisson Becker.

"Same old story," Slot said. "Recently, we are picking up points because many times we’ve scored from set-pieces.

"But what did not change in the last five, six or seven games is that we struggle and find it very hard to score from the open-play chances that we do create.

"Not as many as I would like from all the ball possession we have, but enough and far more than the other team. But, end result, we score one and they score two — and indeed another time in extra time, so it sums up our season again in this game as well.

"What I mean with ‘it sums up the season’ is that we’ve had far more ball possession than the other team, we’ve created more open-play and in general chances than the other team, but from open play we struggle to score.

"Recently, we’ve scored a lot from set-pieces. Today again, we had a lot of set-pieces. First half, [they were] very poorly taken – a bit similar to how we played. I don’t think we played a very good first half.

"The second half was better; still not great, but better. We created more and in extra time — or just before extra time — I think we were twice very close from chances to score the 2-1.

"Mo was dribbling and had on the left and the right two players open, but the ball was intercepted by the defender, and the Virgil header.

"Those are chances and the one we concede is not even a chance, and that is what has happened so many times to us this season.

"That it happens in extra time might be a coincidence maybe, although it happened so many times, but we hardly gave away a chance today. We gave away one chance but conceded two."
