ReactionAlexis Mac Allister: It's a really good day - but we must improve
Arne Slot's side secured a 1-0 victory at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League as their No.10 struck in the seventh minute of added time at the end of the contest.
The decisive goal came after Mac Allister had earlier seen an effort ruled out via VAR for a handball in the 89th minute.
He was, however, in the right place at the right time to capitalise on a loose ball inside the box and clinch three points.
"Mixed feelings to be honest," Mac Allister told Sky Sports post-match. "I love scoring, I love winning, so in that sense I think it's a really good day.
"But on the other hand, I don't think we played very well. There's plenty of things we need to improve, but it's always nicer when you win."
On whether he believed Liverpool would get another chance after his first effort was ruled out, he said: "I thought I was going to get another one even before the throw-in.
"I told Hugo [Ekitike] that this was going to be our goal and our situation. I don't know if it was in that one or the next one, but I had another opportunity and I'm glad that it went in."
He later added to BBC Sport: "We need to analyse [the game] during the week but the first half wasn't good at all. Positioning, intensity, pressing - nothing was good. Well, maybe how we defended our box, because we blocked some shots.
"But it was not good and it was not our standards. In the second half, I wouldn't say it was good, but it was a little bit better. We had some chances and the most important thing is that we won the game."
