Arne Slot says he took Ibrahima Konate off in the second half against Chelsea because of an injury scare for the Liverpool defender (though it was a change he might have made later in the game anyway). "What I do know is that he limped," Slot said.

"It might be OK that he went off early enough, but it was clear I had to take him out because he was limping." Liverpool lost the game late in stoppage time when Estevao popped up at the back post. "We were the dominant team but in the last 10-15 minutes it was end to end," Slot said on Sky Sports.

"We created three open chances — Kerkez, Dom and Alex with the header — but I felt the game was equal. In the end we concede a last minute goal." Explaining his changes at full-back, Slot added that they were running the risk of being sent off, which wasn't something he could gamble on.
