Arne Slot Sets Record At Liverpool After Defeating Brighton 2-1

JAKARTA Arne Slot recorded an impressive record as Liverpool manager after his team beat Brighton & Hove Albion with a score of 2-1 in the Premier League continued match, Saturday night, November 2. With this victory, Slot became the first Liverpool manager to win eight wins from the first ten matches in the league, a special achievement for new manager at Anfield.

Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp, brought stability and success to Liverpool amid the intense Premier League competition. Since his debut, Liverpool under Slot have recorded 13 wins from 15 matches in all competitions, demonstrating impressive performance under this Dutch manager.

In the match against Brighton, Liverpool were left behind after a spectacular goal from Brighton player, Ferdi Kadioglu, in the 14th minute. Brighton performed solidly in the first half, forcing Liverpool to work hard to turn things around. However, Liverpool managed to get up in the second half.

The equalizer's goal came in the 69th minute through a cross from Cody Gakpo who shot straight into Brighton's goal, unable to be stopped by their goalkeeper. Minutes later, Mohamed Salah confirmed Liverpool's victory with a beautiful goal from the right side of the penalty box, the Egyptian's trademark. "The second goal is the hallmark of Mo Salah, and not the first or last of his position," Slot told BBC Sport after the match.

Liverpool's win over Brighton was even more special because it happened on the same day when their main rival, Arsenal, lost 0-1 to Newcastle United. However, Slot insists that his main focus is on Liverpool's performance. "The result of another team is certainly no less important, but what makes today special is how our team managed to overcome tough opponents like Brighton with solid character and quality of play," he said.

Unfortunately, Liverpool's victory had to be paid dearly for the injuries suffered by centre-back Ibrahima Konate. Slot said that the medical team had not been able to confirm the severity of the injury. We don't know for sure the condition, but I hope there is no need for special treatment in the hospital. He feels pain, but there has been no further examination," he said.

With this achievement, Arne Slot further confirmed his position as influential manager at Liverpool, bringing great hope to the Reds supporters to continue to compete at the top of the Premier League table this season.
