Arne Slot Acknowledges Salah’s Defense in Liverpool’s Chelsea Victory
Liverpool coach Arne Slot has praised Mohamed Salah for his overall performance in their 2-1 victory over Chelsea. Slot highlighted Salah’s surprising defensive efforts, which played a big role in helping Liverpool regain the top spot in the league.
“I told Trent, ‘You’ve got some competition now,’ after seeing Salah play like a right-back too!” Slot joked.
He added that Salah’s defensive work was just as impressive as his goal and assist.
Liverpool went ahead in the first half when Curtis Jones earned a penalty, which Salah scored for his seventh goal this season. Later, Salah assisted Jones, helping Liverpool regain the lead shortly after Nicolas Jackson’s equalizer for Chelsea.
