Arne Slot Admits Giving Liverpool a Half-Time Dressing Down in Southampton match
Arne Slot admitted that his half-time speech motivated Liverpool to come from behind to win Southampton 3-1, extending their Premier League lead to 16 points. Watching from the stands due to a touchline ban, Slot criticized his team’s poor first half after Will Smallbone capitalized on a defensive mix-up to give Southampton the lead. He responded with three key substitutions—Harvey Elliott, Andy Robertson, and Alexis Mac Allister—which quickly shifted momentum. Darwin Núñez and Mohamed Salah scored within minutes, with Salah adding a late penalty to seal the win.
