Liverpool boss Arne Slot was seemingly not too impressed with Victor Osimhen’s antics during his side’s defeat to Galatasaray on Tuesday. It proved to be a disappointing night for Liverpool, with its players again failing to live up to their expectations as they fell to back-to-back defeats following the weekend’s loss to Crystal Palace, and Slot has been handed more headaches after Alisson Becker and Hugo Ekitike were both forced off during the second half.



The Reds’ head coach will no doubt be concerned with the manner in which his side fell to a second defeat in just a matter of days, having looked unlikely to find a way back into the game following Osimhen’s first-half spot-kick. The second half was littered with stoppages as the hosts took every chance to run down the clock, with Liverpool’s boss seen involved in an angry exchange with Osimhen at one point as the striker waited to make his way back onto the field.

For the second time in a row we are on the wrong side. It was difficult to get momentum in the game." Liverpool.com says: Osimhen and his teammates certainly did all they could to waste as much time as possible, but you can't really blame them, given how big a result last night's win would have been for them.
