“This is once again a very painful defeat. And a great victory for PSV,” Slot told Ziggo Sport.
Huge stunt from PSV visiting Liverpool; even more headaches for Arne Slot
Virgil van Dijk caused a penalty after five minutes with a handball, which Ivan Perisic converted for PSV. Slot: “That was very annoying for us, so early. I was happy with the reaction of my team afterwards. We quickly made it 1-1 and were then dominant in the first half, which is what you can expect from us. We could have had a better starting position at half time than the 1-1.”
Relive PSV’s spectacular victory over Liverpool in the Champions League
After a good move by Mauro Júnior, Guus Til gave PSV the lead again in the 56th minute. “A beautiful goal,” said Slot. “After that we still had opportunities on the 2-2. After the 3-1 it was no longer possible. We must also give PSV the credits. We had difficulty putting them under pressure. They were always well in between crosses and blocked many balls. When that was not the case, unfortunately our sights were not focused.”
