defiant slot eyes premier league glory despite cup final heartbreak

Arne Slot remained resolute after Liverpool endured a disappointing week, ending with a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle in the League Cup final on Sunday.

Shifting focus, the manager emphasised the teams strong position in the Premier League title race.

The loss at Wembley followed their Champions League exit against Paris Saint-Germain on penalties just days earlier.

Despite the setbacks, Liverpool remain on course to secure their 20th English top-flight title, sitting 12 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal with nine matches left.

Newcastle, claiming their first major trophy in 56 years and their first domestic silverware in 70 years, outmuscled Liverpool. Goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak sealed victory, with Federico Chiesas late strike proving only a consolation.
