"We had more than enough chances to score. Mo missed a big one. Some others missed a big chances. We are not used to this," Liverpool boss Arne Slot told Sky Sports.
"We needed a goal, but we needed a player who could create something in that end phase. That's what Jeremie [Frimpong, who came on for Salah] did, he had a great action, crossed to Cody. If we had been 3-0 up, Cody would have scored. I cannot guarantee this. So every player has tried everything. But it didn't work out for us," he added.
