Jamie Carragher noticed Arne Slot’s telling full-time reaction as Liverpool beat Everton 1-0 on Wednesday to take a huge step towards winning the Premier League title.

Diogo Jota’s second-half strike separated the sides in the Merseyside derby at Anfield as Liverpool moved to within 13 points of guaranteeing top spot in the 2024/25 season.

But it was far from a straightforward affair, in a game that produced few chances as Liverpool battled to earn a valuable and hard-fought win.

The relief was clear at Anfield after the game, as the Reds got back to winning ways after two consecutive defeats before the international break that ended their hopes of winning both the Champions League and Carabao Cup.

He cut a more controlled figure, urging players to step away from arguments and indicating how long was left in the latter stages of injury-time.

“For the majority of the season the manager has been very unemotional,” said Carragher.

“You could see him at the end of the game telling the players there was 10 seconds left.

They were away on international duty and had to wait; no game at the weekend.

“No matter how many people say the league is over, when you’re inside the club or the team that it feels like the title is over, it never feels like that.

It probably even felt like that for Liverpool supporters - towards the end of the game it was very nervous in the stadium, they wanted the final whistle to be blown.

“You can talk about how they’re 12 points in front and no Arsenal fans think they have a chance of winning the league, but Liverpool fans think they do.
