Chiesa and Salah’s late show earns Liverpool dramatic win against BournemouthRead more

Slot is then asked about the football … and the answer becomes another pitch-perfect tribute to Diogo Jota.

“It was a great game to watch … this is what makes football great … three parties involved that wanted to play a very nice game, us, Bournemouth and the referee … high-tempo … no time-wasting … no diving … just keep on playing … this is what makes football so nice … going two up, 2-2, they just kept on going after 2-0 down, a big compliment to them not to give up … keep on fighting … then we did the same after we conceded the 2-2 … our fans at that moment, and before the game, through You’ll Never Walk Alone and the tribute for Diogo, the banner they had … all together it should be about that … we’ve lost many players during the summer, but we didn’t lose our mentality … everyone is asking me the same question, you have a lot of new players … yeah, the reality is we’ve lost a lot of players as well, more than we got … but it’s normal if you bring such talented players in and you won the League last season … normally when it was 2-2, you know which player I would have looked at, at that moment in time … I would have loved to bring Diogo Jota in … but now I couldn’t for terrible reasons … but now the fans and players who are still there did what he did for us so many times in the past.”

Arne Slot talks to Sky Sports, first about the racial abuse directed at Antoine Semenyo.

“The club made a clear statement … we don’t want this in football … we don’t want this in the stadium to happen … but especially not at Anfield … so we should talk about that for a long time, because it’s unacceptable that should happen in a stadium, let alone at Anfield … and that unfortunately gets the shine off … because our fans were unbelievable when you talk about their tribute for Diogo … but what happened over there is definitely … I didn’t hear it, I only can say that this should definitely not happen in a stadium.”

Liverpool have issued a statement on the Semenyo incident.

“Antoine and the referee explained the situation … to be fair, the person has been identified … it’s a shame because after a really great game of football we have to be talking about these things today … we should have been past this stage but there are still people who don’t behave correctly … it’s a shame … Antoine did what he had to do … I don’t think he lost his mind … it’s a big shame … the Liverpool manager and players feel it … even if it’s a Liverpool supporter, for sure they don’t want him with them … [Semenyo] was in the heat of the game, you continue playing and focus on what you have to do … he continued playing very well … now we have to go to talk to the police and officials … now he will have it in his head for sure and it shouldn’t be like this.”

The Premier League have issued a statement regarding the Semenyo incident.

“It’s totally unacceptable … I’m kind of in shock that it happens in this day and age … it shouldn’t be happening … I don’t know how Ants played on and come up with the goals … he’s a little bit down … to carry on playing … something has to be done … taking a knee is having no effect … we’ll support him in there … hopefully he’ll be OK … to be honest I wanted him to react [after scoring his goals] because that’s what I would have done … I would have gone straight over there … but that shows what type of man he is … to not even react when it happened, to carry on … fair play to Ants … I was angry … shocked … to be fair the Liverpool players were very supportive towards Antoine and the rest of the team … I think it was handled in the right way … but yeah, I’m so angry … I don’t know what else we can do … I just don’t know what to say any more … I just feel sorry for Ant in there, that he’s had to take that tonight, and the whole country’s watching … for that to happen is shocking.”

Player of the match Hugo Ekitike talks to Sky.

Liverpool play it short; now it’s their turn to work the clock.

90 min +2: Liverpool half-clear the corner, then Chiesa, the hero of the moment, wins a cheap free kick to release the pressure on the hosts.

90 min +1: The first of six additional minutes sees Bournemouth trade a corner from the right for another on the right.
