Joy for Liverpool fans but huge summer ahead for Slot
Arne Slot's side look set to secure Champions League football for next season. Virgil van Dijk headed in a 100th-minute winner at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. The 3,000 Liverpool supporters went wild. Liverpool had snatched an injury-time winner against their local rivals for the sixth time in Premier League history. Mohamed Salah scored to give Liverpool a surprise lead.
Pat Nevin said, "That goal has probably given Liverpool what they need - and what they need is Champions League football." Danny Murphy told BBC Sport, "Not being in a Champions League spot is a catastrophe for Liverpool and that win today goes a long way to putting them in it." Salah's first-half goal was his ninth in a Merseyside derby. It was also his 257th for Liverpool. Liverpool have lost 10 league games this season.
Virgil van Dijk told Sky Sports, "He's so important for us, on and off the pitch," referring to Salah. He added, "He will still be important for the last five games we have to play."
