Mohamed Salah and Ryan Gravenberch scored in each half as the Reds ended a run of four successive top-flight losses with a 2-0 home win over Aston Villa on Saturday evening.Having come under fire following the dismal midweek League Cup defeat to Crystal Palace in which he made 10 chances, Slot had his name chanted during the first half against Villa.He was also given rousing backing towards the end of the game and after the final whistle when approaching the Kop for a traditional show of appreciation.READ MORE: Mohamed Salah makes honest Liverpool admission after landmark goal in vital victoryAnd asked what the fan support means to him, Reds boss Slot said: “A lot, especially because it happened at 0-0 and not when you are leading or top of the league but when you are in a difficult situation as a club and a team, and as I’m part of the club it’s also a difficult situation for me.“So to get the support the players got and also I got is something that makes this club special. We were losing, so they felt the players and me needed a bit of support and that’s what you get from these fans.”Slot added: “You always feel pressure, even when you are leading the table with 15 games to go or are on a run of form we were in.“But I’ve always felt the support of the fans as long as I’ve been here.

During the recent results I’ve never felt that there was anything less than it was before.“I think they were there for me, but they were there for the team tonight as well. They were so supportive and that can have a big impact.“We have played many away games, I’m completely aware of the poor results, but we had to play a lot of away games where the fans still help us, but you can’t compare that to home games under the lights at Anfield.

What I saw today not only from the players but also the support we got from the fans was what we needed today.“Maybe we were a bit more on the lucky side now than we have been in the last few weeks. These are the margins we are talking about.“In other games we have created more from open play than we did today.
