Arne Slot admits his Liverpool players proved him wrong once again with their dramatic late victory at Brentford . Darwin Nunez came off the bench to score twice in injury time to earn the Reds a 2-0 Premier League triumph at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The result moved Liverpool seven points clear of second-placed Arsenal with both having played 21 games, although the Gunners were in action later in the evening at home to Aston Villa.
It would have been a bit surprising that after all the chances we missed today we would probably score in the last five minutes. But the players proved me wrong – again.” Slot was making reference to Tuesday, when he had told his players at half-time at Nottingham Forest that they would probably only have a few chances, but went on to dominate the second half in earning a 1-1 draw.
