In the third round of the EFL Cup, Jota and Gakpo both scored twice, with Salah adding another, leading to Liverpool’s 5-1 comeback victory over ten-man West Ham United at home, advancing them to the round of 16. After the game, Liverpool manager Slot spoke to the media.
Slot told Sky Sports, “Facing a strong team like West Ham United, who have many excellent players capable of putting you under pressure. In the second half, they were also a threat from set-pieces. Since I’ve been here, games have never been easy, even if the results sometimes look different. This is perhaps a characteristic of the Premier League, where every team has great players.”
“In this game, I do feel that we controlled the game for most of it. We had a significant advantage in possession, especially in the first half.”
“Gakpo deserved his goal, as did others. He had an excellent shot which made me very happy.”
“Internal competition? I’ve never worked with a group of players who don’t want to play. It’s the same at any club; players want to be on the pitch, especially as part of a winning team.”
