Liverpool defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 to maintain their lead in the Premier League. Within 9 minutes, Diogo Jota headed the Reds ahead thanks to a cross from Cody Gakpo. Then, the Portugal international blew two excellent opportunities to increase Liverpool's lead. Although Palace was unable to punish them, Slot suffered a setback in the form of goalkeeper Alisson Becker limping out due to a hamstring issue.
Since Slot took over at Anfield after Jurgen Klopp was fired in the winter, Liverpool has won nine of its last ten games throughout all competitions. In the history of the team, the Dutchman's start has been the best of any coach. Slot acknowledged that his record-breaking start to life at Liverpool had made him grin, but he maintained that it was much too soon to make judgments on his stay.
