Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised his team\u2019s resilience and attitude after the Reds secured a dramatic 1-0 win over Burnley, thanks to a late penalty from Mo Salah.<\/p>\n
Burnley defended fantastically throughout the game before their hard work was undone by a handball by former Manchester United star Hannibal in injury time.<\/p>\n
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher said that Burnley \u2018didn\u2019t deserve\u2019 the moment but criticised Hannibal, describing the handball as \u2018absolutely braindead\u2019 while on air.<\/p>\n
Slot<\/a> won\u2019t care, though, as Liverpool<\/a> now sit top of the Premier League table after winning their first four matches, despite them not playing their best football.<\/p>\n Speaking after the game, Slot told Sky Sports: \u201cI settled really bad because after 90 minutes when I saw how much added time there was I was shocked.<\/p>\n \u201cI was still shocked when we got the penalty because five minutes of added time for me was unbelievable. Shocked and then happy Mo scored the penalty.<\/p>\n \u201cIt wasn\u2019t a game we created a lot of chances, it is hard against a team who plays in their box. We kept playing, we kept moving the ball around. They got more and more tired which is normal when you have to defend for 80% of time and then we got as many attackers on as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE<\/strong>\u00a0\ud83d\udc49\u00a0Liverpool biggest signings of all time: Alexander Isak knocks Florian Wirtz off perch<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Mo Salah: \u2018We don\u2019t give up\u2019<\/p>\n Slot added: \u201cA difficult game but all of them are in the Premier League. A clean sheet and from open play we hardly concede a chance. That\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is normal and a lot of new players, we will get better and better but in the meantime we have 12 points.\u201d<\/p>\n On Alexander Isak, Slot suggests that he will make his Liverpool debut very soon:\u00a0\u201cNow he is ready to play at least 45 minutes. Let\u2019s see if we will use that on Wednesday or on Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n Liverpool\u2019s hero on the day, Salah<\/a>, also praised his teammates for their work ethic.<\/p>\n \u201cTough opponent today, we tried our best to get the ball between the lines. It was tough but I am glad we managed it,\u201d Salah told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have a few new players in the starting line up and it takes time to adapt to our game and we try our best to make them confident in our game.<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t give up. We try and push ourselves to the limit and as team we did that.\u201d<\/p>\n DON\u2019T MISS\u00a0<\/strong>\ud83d\udc49\u00a012 major Premier League selection headaches created by summer transfers: Isak v Ekitike, Garnacho v Gittens\u2026<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Latest Liverpool news<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34\u00a0Liverpool in \u2018pole position\u2019 to \u2018agree deal\u2019 for \u00a3100m winger in major Mo Salah spoiler<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34\u00a0Liverpool ready to move for \u2018unflappable\u2019 \u00a360m Prem midfielder \u2013 signing would create huge headache<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
