Liverpool made it three wins from three in the Champions League as Darwin Nunez netted the winner in a 1-0 win over RB Leipzig.
The victory means Arne Slot has now won 11 of his 12 matches across all competitions since replacing Jurgen Klopp and this was a perfect prep for Sunday’s clash with Arsenal in the Premier League, live on Sky Sports.
Nunez grabbed the all-important winning goal on 27 minutes when poking home from close range after Mohamed Salah’s header looked to be heading in anyway.
The visitors created 2.38 worth of expected goals but couldn’t find a second goal with Péter Gulácsi in the RB Leipzig goal making some stunning saves whilst Alexis Mac Allister also hit the crossbar.
Liverpool had to endure a stressful closing 10 minutes though with Lois Openda finding the net but his effort was ruled out for a narrow offside.
Slot’s team, along with Aston Villa, are the only two teams with a 100 per cent record in the Champions League and lead the way in the league phase.
