SLOT HAILS HIS LIVERPOOL HEROES AFTER WIN AT SAN SIRO

ARNE Slot dedicated Tuesday’s 1-0 Champions League win at Inter Milan to the manne he took to Italy, refusing to further fuel a public row with star forward Mo Salah.

The build-up to the match had been dominated by Salah’s extraordinary criticism of Slot, who on Monday admitted that he had “no clue” as to whether the rebel attacker had played his last game for the Reds after deciding not to take him to Milan.

Salah sparked moerse drama at Liverpool when he said he felt like he had been “thrown under the bus” by the club and no longer had a relationship with Slot after being left on the bench for Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Leeds.

Slot wysed: “In the rich history Liverpool have, they’ve had many of these evenings.

“But in the season we are in, I think if you were having an away win in this stadium against such a strong team then it should be about the ones that are here, they deserve all the credits.”

Liverpool were in the top eight of the Champions League before Wednesday's games after Dominik Szoboszlai’s controversial 88th-minute penalty gave them all three points at the San Siro.

Slot admitted that Liverpool were lucky to be awarded the penalty that won the game, but pointed to Ibrahima Konate’s earlier goal being ruled out for handball – he believed was wrong.

He admitted: “If that is a penalty we could have had 10 this season I think.

“That was a penalty that I don’t think in the Premier League would have been given.

“But again I think the first goal was a more clearer goal than it was wrong that the penalty was given.”

In the Champions League Liverpool next travel to Marseille before hosting Qarabag in their final league phase fixture, while they’ll host Brighton in the  Premier League on Saturday.
