Overview
- Liverpool snapped a four-game Premier League losing streak and moved into third with their first clean sheet in 11 matches.
- Mohamed Salah punished an Emiliano Martinez error to reach 250 club goals before Ryan Gravenberch’s deflected strike sealed the points on his return from injury.
- Arne Slot highlighted fine margins and praised improved set-piece defending, noting Liverpool had conceded early in recent league losses.
- Captain Virgil van Dijk urged teammates to ignore what he called “ridiculous” outside takes and emphasized unity after a bruising run.
- Separately, Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White said his “breathe again” remark reflected relief at a long-awaited win, not the managerial change to Sean Dyche, with Forest still in the relegation zone.
