Slot admits doubts before Reds late show in a 2-0 win

Arne Slot admitted he feared history was repeating itself as Liverpool labored against Brentford on Saturday, before substitute Darwin Nunez scored twice in stoppage time to extend the Reds' Premier League lead.

Liverpool racked up 35 shots in 90 minutes of regular time, with the visiting side unable to overcome Brentford's low block and dogged defending.

Back-to-back league draws against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest had seemingly opened the door for second-placed Arsenal to reel in early pace-setter Liverpool.

But Nunez, who was mocked by the Brentford fans when he was introduced, scored twice in three minutes with the visitor's 36th and 37th shots to secure a dramatic 2-0 victory.

Slot said he had feared his team's profligacy was becoming a costly habit, but was glad he was wrong.

"Yes, of course I had doubts about that because, before we scored the two goals, it felt as if I was looking at the same game again and again and again ... so many times in recent weeks, against Tottenham (Hotspur in the League Cup) as well, we missed a lot of chances.

"Against Forest, we missed a lot, so it would have been a bit surprising if I felt 'OK, after all these chances missed today, we will probably score in the last five minutes'.

"But the boys, the players proved me wrong again."

Slot, however, said Liverpool's recent performances did not suggest it was going through a spell of poor form. He added that based on statistics such as expected goals "there's nothing changed with us between now and the start of the season".

"What you do see is that it is, at this moment of time, a bit harder for us to convert our chances into goals," Slot said.

The absence from the squad of Diogo Jota, who scored the equalizer against Forest on Tuesday, will not help on that front but Slot backed Nunez to keep contributing.

"He's having a good season. He scores goals, he works very hard for the team, he assists, but he's in competition with a lot of good players, so that's why he's not every single game on the pitch. But I'm very happy with him."
