And Slot and his colleagues could use that boost. Last Sunday, Liverpool wanted to use the home match against arch-rival Manchester United to polish their reputation after the international break, but Harry Maguire gave the whole of Anfield a cold shower with his winning goal.

Liverpool had to chase again against Eintracht Frankfurt. Former PSV player Mario Götze indicated, former Ajax player Rasmus Kristensen pressed and the Germans suddenly took the lead halfway through the first half. Jeremie Frimpong no longer experienced that within the lines. The right back had to leave injured after just under twenty minutes and was replaced by Conor Bradley. Slot already had to do it in Germany without the injured Ryan Gravenberch.
Hugo Ekitike hurts his old team on behalf of Liverpool
Hugo Ekitike, former Frankfurt player, helped Liverpool get back on track. The Frenchman was sent deep by Andy Robertson and coolly finished clear in front of goalkeeper Michael Zetterer (former PEC Zwolle).

Shortly afterwards, Van Dijk had the accompanying Liverpool fans cheering again. The central defender (who also scored accurately against Finland last week on behalf of the Dutch team from a set piece moment) headed Gakpo’s corner from close range. The visitors used the same weapon again before half time. Now Dominik Szoboszlai was the corner kick taker and Ibrahima Konaté headed the goal scorer.
Cody Gakpo scores on a pass from Florian Wirtz
After the break, Gakpo also scored his goal. On a pass from Florian Wirtz, the left winger pushed the ball in from a smooth attack. With a shot from distance, Szoboszlai gave the final result an even better look for the Slot team, which was finally able to wash away the bad taste of losing after four defeats.
