Made history. Arne Slot repeated the incredible achievement of Hiddink and Ancelotti
Liverpool secured a hard-fought victory in the 12th round of the Premier League, edging out Southampton on the road. A goal from Dominik Szoboszlai and a brace from Mohamed Salah helped the Reds extend their lead over closest rivals Manchester City to eight points.
The match was also historic for Liverpool's manager, who achieved yet another significant milestone. Arne Slot claimed his tenth win as manager in just his 12th Premier League match, matching the record set by Guus Hiddink and Carlo Ancelotti, who both achieved the same feat during their time at Chelsea. Notably, no manager has started their Premier League career with a better record.
Looking ahead, Liverpool faces a challenging week. On Wednesday, they will host Real Madrid at Anfield in the Champions League, followed by a crucial clash against Manchester City this weekend.
