With fifteen minutes left, and with Liverpool having secured the second goal required to seal this game, Anfield started to sing the name of Arne Slot for the first time. It was only a flicker and it died out pretty quickly. Almost like a passing whisper in a corridor. But it was there just the same and it felt significant.
Two games in and a new Liverpool manager is making sound progress at the start of what may transpire to be quite a difficult journey.
Much of what we saw from Slot’s Liverpool here was reminiscent of the Jurgen Klopp era.
