The Arne Slot roadshow continues to impress. Cody Gakpo’s quickfire double helped the Liverpool manager make it seven wins from his first eight away matches in all competitions as the holders moved into the quarter-finals despite making wholesale changes on the south coast.
Slot could not have wished for a better start to life in English football and he will have been mightily impressed with the performance of the Czech goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros, who made a spectacular save on his debut when the game was finely poised at 1-0. This was the first real setback for opposite number Fabian Hürzeler since his arrival on these shores, with Brighton once again failing to get past this stage of the competition for the first time in approaching 50 years.
