Slot: Liverpool were lucky for the first time this season

Arne Slot conceded that fortune favoured Liverpool for the first time this campaign after the Reds edged Nottingham Forest 1-0 in their Premier League meeting at the City Ground. Speaking after the final whistle, the Liverpool manager did not mask his assessment, stating plainly that his side had been “lucky” to claim all three points on the road. The victory preserves Liverpool’s early-season momentum, yet Slot’s candid admission underlines a recognition that the performance fell short of the standards he demands. The single-goal margin proved enough to settle the contest, but the boss’s post-match remarks will prompt reflection within the squad as they prepare for the challenges ahead.
