“I’m Experiencing This For Months,” Says Boss After Fulham’s Last-Gasp Stunner
Liverpool manager Arne Slot cut a frustrated figure on Saturday, forced to confront a recurring nightmare after Harrison Reed’s spectacular 94th-minute strike snatched a 2-2 draw for Fulham, denying his side a crucial away win.
The dramatic equalizer came just moments after substitute Cody Gakpo thought he had won the game for Liverpool with a close-range finish of his own. The cruel twist was all too familiar for Slot, whose team has repeatedly dropped points to late goals this season.
“I think if you are not part of Liverpool and you don’t follow us every game, then you think you win it,” a weary Slot told reporters after the match. “But unfortunately, I’m experiencing this for months now. The other team scores a goal you don’t expect in extra time.”
The Dutch manager highlighted a persistent pattern: his team dominating chances but being punished by rare opposition opportunities. Liverpool were also hampered by the absence of top scorer Hugo Ekitike, who was ruled out after a late MRI scan, leaving the attack looking blunt for long periods.
“I would love to create more,” Slot admitted, referencing Fulham’s defensive setup. “But overall I think we’ve created enough chances to win the game.”
The result leaves Liverpool’s title aspirations hanging by a thread, now 14 points behind leaders Arsenal. For Slot, the immediate challenge is not just tactical, but psychological: breaking a costly cycle of late concessions that continues to undermine his team’s progress.
