Liverpool boss Arne Slot joked that his dad might have enjoyed the Reds' 4-1 win over Ipswich Town in the Premier League after revealing earlier in the week that he didn't think the Lille fixture midweek was particularly exciting.

Slot's men comfortably won both matches, with the first a 2-1 victory in the Champions League and this weekend's a hammering of Ipswich, who shipped six at home to Manchester City a week ago, much more goal-filled. Liverpool remains in pole position in both domestically and in Europe.

"I think he would!" Slot told the BBC when he was asked if his father would have enjoyed this game more. "To be clear, he thought the Lille game wasn't as exciting as the games before. But with us scoring four goals I assume he finds it more exciting than the Lille game.

"We created more chances and scored more goals [than the Lille game]. The only thing I'm not happy about is conceding from a set piece at the end. The players are very fit but we have to keep them fresh.

"As a manager, I don't think you dream that much. You don't think about when you start at a new club about the amount of points. I think about how I can make sure these players play in a style I would love them to play.

"And they have done that from the start. Today as well... the work rate they put in when we lost the ball to prevent them from playing the counter-attack. It's a joy to watch. Many fans prefer to see goals and assists, I also enjoy the work rate we put in every game."

Liverpool.com says: If the Reds keep winning, any claims of Liverpool being boring will be long forgotten. Pundit Jason Cundy said that last week and it is something that has been leveled at Manchester City in the past, but that is something Slot will happily take if his team ends up winning the league!
