Slot highlights Liverpool’s mentality after beating Everton in the Premier League

Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised his team’s mentality after the 2-1 victory against Everton in the Premier League. Liverpool quickly took the lead with goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike. Idrissa Gueye narrowed the gap for Everton in the second half. Despite Everton’s pressure, Liverpool managed to maintain their lead and secure another victory.

We needed mentality today, perhaps in a different way than before, but we always knew how difficult this match would be, especially without adequate preparation time.

Slot highlighted the difficulty of the match, especially being the third game in seven days against a direct rival. He acknowledged that the team showed a great performance in the first 45 minutes, but that the second half was more complicated due to Everton and fatigue.

The defeat continues Everton manager David Moyes’ poor run at Anfield, where he has failed to win in 23 visits.

• Manchester City is undoubtedly a Premier League title contender, according to Arsenal’s Arteta.
• West Ham fans protest against the owners before the match against Crystal Palace.
• Manchester United’s Wilcox: There are no quick fixes to the problems, I pray we have time.

Everton had a good performance in the second half, but Moyes lamented some refereeing decisions.

I think three minutes [of added time] was very strange.

The result keeps Liverpool at the top of the table, before their next match against Crystal Palace. Everton, who will host West Ham United in their next Premier League match, drops to eighth position.
