News'A beautiful moment...' - Arne Slot picks out his highlight from the season so far
Faced with a long list of contenders, Arne Slot has picked out his favourite moment from the 2024-25 season up to this point.
The Liverpool head coach acknowledges the ultimate highlight may lie ahead in the remaining weeks of the campaign, with his side one point away from sealing the Premier League title.
However, the Reds' recent rally against West Ham United at Anfield stands out on top for the Dutchman at this moment in time.
Virgil van Dijk's late header secured a 2-1 victory after players and supporters stepped it up a gear in response to an equaliser from the Hammers three minutes earlier.

"[It was] special when Virgil, just before the end, headed the goal in against West Ham. Trent [Alexander-Arnold] 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.
"But I can also come up with Brentford away: 90 minutes played, 0-0, Darwin Nunez scoring a goal and I think Trent assisted that one as well. We've had a few of those big moments during the season.
"I cannot pick one but if I really have to, I think the moment after conceding the 1-1 against West Ham where everybody probably felt, 'Ooh, this is going to be difficult, maybe even to bring a 1-1 over the line.'
"Then the team stepped up, the fans stepped up for two minutes and they were just flying at that moment. As a result of that, we got a corner kick when Virgil scored the goal.
"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."
