As manager of Liverpool, Arne Slot has now won a game at home.
The Dutchman has only been in the game for a short while, but he is already setting new benchmarks. With the win versus Brentford, Slot became the first Liverpool coach to do so since 1991.
In their 2-0 victory over the Bees, Liverpool were in complete control of the match. The first goal came from Luis Diaz, and the second came from Mohamed Salah.
Luis Diaz’s performance for Liverpool vs Brentford is discussed by Conor Bradley and Virgil van Dijk.
According to Sky Sports, Liverpool paid Porto £37 million to sign Diaz.
At Anfield, the Colombian quickly became a fan favourite during his time with the Reds, and he has created some unforgettable moments throughout his career.
Once again, Diaz was the hero in Sunday’s match against Brentford.
The Colombian put his team ahead with a fantastic goal that followed a masterful counterattack. The decisive goal put Liverpool ahead of their opponents.
A few of Diaz’s teammates appear to share the high regard in which he has been held for his performance.
The attacker received some love from Conor Bradley, captain Virgil van Dijk, and others when he posted an Instagram celebrating the goal and the win.
Bradley said, “Wow,” and Van Dijk responded with an emoji that looked like he was cheering.
See the responses he got from Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai down below.

Arne Slot’s expectations for Luis Diaz’s development
No one can dispute Diaz’s talent as a football player.
The Colombian possesses incredible pace, is full of tricks and his dribbling is good enough to get past most defenders in the world.
Nevertheless, Diaz’s production remains a common source of disappointment.
In 100 games for Liverpool, the former Porto man has scored just 25 goals and provided 14 assists. That’s not a great return at all.
Diaz has opened his account in the Premier League this season, and Liverpool fans will be hoping that Slot can make him much more prolific than he has been.
