(The Post News)- Arne Slot was thwarted by Tottenham Hotspurs from matching Liverpool’s greatest winning streak of the twenty-first century. The Dutchman narrowly missed Jurgen Klopp’s incredible record despite having already defeated Rafa Benitez. Arne Slot wanted to bring Liverpool’s winning streak to at least their best unbeaten run of the century, but everything comes to an end.
He did, in fact, come within one, but Tottenham Hotspur, who are skilled at holding England’s top teams at bay, defeated the Dutch manager 1-0 in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final to prevent him from setting a record on Wednesday, 08 January. It keeps the silverware and bids the gold farewell, at least for the time being, but it does not lose its value.
Liverpool had a 24-match winning streak going into the Cup match’s opening round. They hadn’t done so since they were defeated 1-0 at Anfield by surprise package Nottingham Forest on September 14. In those 24 unrecorded games, they have since become an almost flawless machine, winning 20 of them and drawing just four (against Arsenal, Newcastle, Fulham, and Manchester United). They have defeated Manchester City and Real Madrid by 2-0 scores, as well as West Ham (5-1), Bayer Leverkusen (4-0), and Tottenham (3-6).
Between September and January, Arne Slot was able to lead Liverpool to their greatest unbeaten streak in the twenty-first century. Prior to this, he had surpassed Gerard Houllier, who had 15 in 2000-01. Additionally, he overtook Rafa Benitez, who went 18 games without losing in 2007–08, to take second spot. Prior to the arrival of Jurgen Klopp, it was the greatest.
The German manager, who transformed the recent history of a legendary Liverpool team, set a challenging record in 2021–22 by going 25 games without losing. According to BeSoccer Pro, he won less than Slot (18), but he still holds the top rank in this filter. mid-April through the beginning of November.
West Ham, led by David Moyes, ended that positive momentum with a 3-2 Premier League victory. Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham, with Lucas Bergvall’s winner in the 86th minute, put a stop to Slot’s quest to dethrone the German in this record, which would have confirmed this thrilling transition of era. Slot took over the burden of succeeding Anfield great Klopp.
