It was a big night at Villa Park.

The game lived up to the hype.

And yet it’s difficult to feel that taking a point from a motivated Villa, who hasn’t lost a home league match since August, is a disappointment.

“I think if you go away at Villa that’s always a difficult fixture,” claimed Slot after the game.

No one doubts that now.

Slot has pushed Liverpool to the point that quadruple talk was swirling around just two weeks ago and there was even a suggestion at the weekend that had Arsenal not battled through to beat Leicester City then the Premier League trophy may as well be sent to Anfield.

Even Slot admitted post-match at Villa Park that ‘too often’ the team doesn’t ‘get what we deserve’ at present.

The Liverpool boss referenced last week how the second half of the campaign was always going to feel more tricky that the first half half, with more now on the line for every club

That was against a different, less motivated, less functional Villa - not the one that pushed Liverpool for 90 minutes.

That underlines the challenge facing Slot and his team in the final three months of the season
