After securing a 3-1 home victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the third round of the Carabao Cup, Liverpool FC manager Arne Slot spoke to ITV.

Thank you Arne for joining us in the drizzle. You mentioned Cody Gakpo's English has improved, and Domenic Soboslai scored some brilliant goals—and he really did, didn't he? As the goal that sealed the victory, it was a truly beautiful finish.

Yes, and that goal late in the game was also a beautiful moment. You know, when it was 2-1, the opposition was clearly pressing us hard. Being able to score that third goal and celebrate properly was fantastic. It was truly a beautiful finish.

Guest Bobby Fowler: I've just spoken with Arne about Trey Nyoni. I thought he performed very well in preseason, and he played with composure and confidence in his position and role tonight. I thought his performance this evening was excellent.

Yes, I think he did well both with and without the ball. Although he did have a slight cramp late in the game and asked to come off, which is normal, overall I think the young player brought great energy to our team. Yes, that energy—when we can display that intensity, we become a better team.

How would you rate the team's overall performance tonight?

I think the game went through several different phases. We started with aggressive high pressing and took the lead, but once you go ahead, opponents can often push into dangerous areas more frequently. I thought we had issues, particularly defending set pieces, and we conceded from a free kick. They had multiple free kick opportunities, which was frustrating. However, we also had many phases where we pressed the opposition hard. We won the ball back in high positions, and I thought our performance in those moments was good.

You said after last weekend's match that the team's performance could regress. Do you see tonight's game as a step forward?

Yes, I do. Because I felt the presence of the team again. Sometimes you sit on the bench and don't feel the team unity, but tonight, in many exciting moments of the game, I really felt the team's spirit. I felt the energy. I felt everyone pushing forward at full intensity. Regardless of whether everyone made mistakes, that's part of the game. But I think tonight's performance was close to the version of us when we're winning.

Final question: you'll go to Bournemouth this weekend. How will you feel? What's your perspective on this situation? Will it be daunting? What are your true feelings?

No. I know it will be a difficult match. Just look at how few games they've lost in a season, and they haven't lost at home all season. That will certainly be a tough task playing away. Knowing that is one thing, but being fully prepared for this difficult battle is another. To win away at their place, you have to perform well enough.
