Arne Slot feeling 'anger and disappointment' after Liverpool collapse against Man City

Dominik Szoboszlai gave the Reds the lead in the 74th minute with a terrific free-kick that will be a contender for goal of the season.

City though hit back late when Bernado Silva equalised with six minutes remaining before Erling Haaland's stoppage-time penalty sealed the win for the visitors.

Liverpool's latest defeat means they stay sixth in the Premier League table, five points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.

"I am feeling anger and disappointment," Slot told reporters after the game.

"First half, City were the better team on the pitch without creating that many big chances except the one from Haaland in the first minutes.

"They played better with the ball, but the improvement we have made since three or four months ago was visible for everyone.

"Second half, our standards went up, in terms of intensity, we were pressing them all over the place and that is the biggest improvement we have made in the last two or three months.

"That the whole (team) is capable against one (of) the teams that is probably best, maybe the best team in England in ball possession, to do so well off the ball is a big improvement.

"A fantastic second half. I was expecting more than being one goal up and then two goals conceded."

Liverpool have a chance to get back to winning ways when they travel to take on Sunderland on Wednesday.
