Liverpool fans have been dreaming of silverware again, and head coach Arne Slot has given them even more reason to smile.
As the Reds chase down the Premier League title, Slot looked back on the season and picked his favourite moment so far.
And no, it wasn’t just about goals or trophies—it was all about emotion, energy, and a late winner that lit up Anfield.
In a long season full of drama and standout performances, Slot could’ve named many memories.
But one moment stood above the rest. It came against West Ham United at home. Liverpool had just conceded a goal, and the game was on the edge.
But what happened next gave Slot goosebumps.

Arne Slot explains reason behind his ‘favorite moment’
“Hopefully that’s a moment still to come in the upcoming five games – hopefully the first one, of course,” Slot said (via Liverpoolfc.com, keeping one eye on the title race. “But there were special moments.”
He continued, “Special when Virgil, just before the end, headed the goal in against West Ham. Trent doing this 10 minutes before the end against Leicester. I think big players always show up in big moments and that’s what they did.”
Still, it was Virgil van Dijk’s late header that stole the spotlight. The captain’s powerful goal followed a storming two-minute spell by both players and fans.
Slot explained, “After conceding the 1-1 against West Ham, everybody probably felt, ‘Ooh, this is going to be difficult.’ Then the team stepped up, the fans stepped up, and they were just flying. As a result of that, we got a corner kick when Virgil scored the goal.”
He added, “The emotions that ran through him, through the stadium, through the staff, through everyone, that was a beautiful moment. But I hope the most beautiful one is still to come.”
Liverpool supporters will hope that Slot’s favourite memory is about to be replaced — ideally by the moment they lift the title.
