"It has been a while since Liverpool fans had much to chant about at Anfield - but manager Arne Slot felt the supporters played a vital role in helping the Reds rediscover their form. The Dutchman had been a man under pressure, with six defeats in seven games in all competitions before the reigning champions secured a fully deserved 2-0 home victory over Aston Villa, thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Ryan Gravenberch."
"It happened at 0-0, not when you are leading, not when you are top of the table, but when you're in a difficult situation for the club, for the team and for me. To get the support the players got, the support I got, is what makes this club special. They don't forget if you have been a part of something special and they help you when things are difficult."
Liverpool ended a poor run with a 2-0 home win over Aston Villa, with goals from Mohamed Salah and Ryan Gravenberch. Arne Slot had been under heavy pressure after six defeats in seven matches across competitions and a four-game Premier League losing streak. The victory lifted Liverpool to third in the table and revived positive atmosphere at Anfield, where fans chanted even when the score was goalless. Slot praised the supporters for backing the players during difficult times and said that past successes make the crowd willing to help. Crucial tests follow against Real Madrid and Manchester City. Arsenal lead by seven points.
