Alexis Mac Allister struck deep into added time, pouncing on a loose ball from close range only minutes after seeing an earlier effort ruled out following a VAR review.

The decisive moment delivered a vital three points in a fiercely contested Premier League encounter.

Arne Slot said the recent run of matches has helped restore the Argentine’s rhythm.

Arne Slot noted that Alexis Mac Allister had shown the level he consistently produced last season and had begun to regain that sharpness over the past several games.

Arne Slot acknowledged that both Alexis Mac Allister and the team endured fluctuating performances earlier in the campaign.

However, Arne Slot emphasised that recent displays reflect renewed consistency and confidence.

The Liverpool manager added that scoring in added time offers a powerful boost for any player.

Arne Slot described the goal as timely, particularly after a sequence of frustrating results.

Liverpool remain just outside the Champions League qualification places on goal difference.

Arne Slot admitted that fortune had not always favoured the club this season but suggested the late winner signalled a welcome shift.
