Slot Applauds Liverpool’s Resilience to See Out Wolves
Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised his team’s resilience. After they secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wolves on Sunday, extending their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points.
Goals from Luis Díaz and Mohamed Salah put Liverpool in control at Anfield, but a second-half strike from Matheus Cunha set up a tense finale.
Slot admitted his side, fatigued from a gruelling schedule, had to dig deep to secure their first win in three matches.
“We needed to fight, and we need Alisson. Wolves took a lot of risks, and in a season where you want to achieve something, you need wins like this.”
Liverpool were still feeling the effects of Wednesday’s emotionally draining 2-2 draw against Everton and last weekend’s shock FA Cup exit to Plymouth.
Slot acknowledged that his players were physically and mentally exhausted but commended their determination.
“We were mentally test today,” he said. “I did see for the first time this season that players were more tired than they have been. But if you want to achieve something, it’s not just about scoring goals—it’s also about defending.”

“It’s an ongoing process,” he said. “It’s down to a panel to decide if I get a ban.”
