The manager expressed optimism that their recent win could shift the team's mentality as they head into an important match against Aston Villa next Sunday. He emphasized the need for mental resilience amid their ongoing struggles.

Salah's hamstring injury could potentially signal the end of his time at Anfield, as he celebrated with fans before heading down the tunnel.
Manager Arne Slot provided limited details regarding the severity of Salah's injury, noting the season's end is only a few weeks away. He remarked, “We don’t know... Let’s hope for the best,” highlighting the uncertainty surrounding whether Salah will return to play this season.
As Liverpool aims to secure their position in the top four, the absence of their star player could impact their performance in the upcoming fixtures.
Both teams face critical matches ahead, with Spurs hoping to overcome their injury woes and Liverpool pondering the implications of Salah's potential absence.
