Liverpool boss Arne Slot hailed Ibrahima Konate's commitment to the club after the defender returned early from compassionate leave following the death of his father to help the Premier League side amid a defensive crisis.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot believes his side are damaging their own hopes of a top-four finish in the Premier League because of a poor record at set-pieces.

Virgil van Dijk said Liverpool's players are letting manager Arne Slot down after the Premier League champions' collapse continued with a 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest.
