Arne Slot expressed his satisfaction with Liverpool's strong start to a crucial phase of their season following their recent victory over Chelsea. The win allowed Liverpool to reclaim the top position in the Premier League, marking an impressive record of 10 wins in 11 matches under Slot's management. Mohamed Salah opened the scoring against his former team, and after Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson equalized, Curtis Jones, who was named man of the match, quickly restored Liverpool's lead. Despite the positive momentum, Slot emphasized the importance of waiting to assess his team's potential until after their next seven matches, highlighting the challenges of playing every three days.

Curtis Jones' decisive goal helped Liverpool secure a victory over Chelsea, allowing them to reclaim the top position in the Premier League. The match raised questions about Liverpool's status as genuine title contenders, especially after a strong start under manager Arne Slot that had yet to face a significant challenge. Chelsea provided that challenge, but Liverpool rose to the occasion, winning a hard-fought match against Enzo Maresco’s developing side. The victory, Liverpool's seventh in eight league matches under Slot, was marked by contributions from Mohamed Salah and the impressive Curtis Jones, who both played pivotal roles. Chelsea managed to equalize in the second half through Nicolas Jackson, but Liverpool's resilience, organization, and attacking prowess ultimately proved decisive. Despite Chelsea's confident performance, they struggled to create clear chances, while Liverpool demonstrated their ability to perform under pressure, reinforcing their position as a serious contender to challenge Manchester City's dominance this season.
