Liverpool boss Arne Slot admitted he was relieved after their 3-1 win at Wolves in the FA Cup fifth round on Friday, amidst a rollercoaster season.
Goals from Andrew Robertson, Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones ensured Slot’s side avenged their embarrassing English Premier League defeat against the division’s bottom club just three days earlier.
“It was a perfect response,” said Slot, referring to their 1-2 loss to the same opponents. “[Since] we played them three days ago, the game plans are usually easier to create and the execution of that was better than three days ago,” he added.

The Reds are through to the quarter-finals as they look to end a turbulent season with silverware. Languishing in sixth place in the EPL, Liverpool can still win the FA Cup and the Champions League.
Slot’s only regret after a much-needed victory was the sight of Liverpool conceding a late goal to Hwang Hee-chan after poor defending, saying it was “very frustrating to see we have hardly given away any chances, but we still concede a goal.”
