Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that the club's owners paid the remaining money on Diogo Jota's contract to his family after the winger's death.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has praised the club’s owners, describing their financial support for Diogo Jota’s family as “not normal.”

Hugo Ekitike is reportedly likely to be docked two weeks' wages by Liverpool manager Arne Slot after getting sent off against Southampton in their 2-1 Carabao Cup win. The Frenchman came off the bench to score the winner but he was soon walking back to the dugout after picking up a second yellow for taking off his shirt in celebration.

Alexander Isak netted his first goal since joining in a Premier League transfer record this summer after being recalled to the starting lineup. However, as part of Slot's meticulous plan to build up his match fitness, the Sweden international was replaced by Hugo Ekitike at half-time and the Frenchman stole the show.

With captain Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate both given the night off, the young Italian was handed a start in central defence alongside Joe Gomez. However, Leoni’s debut was cut short after 81 minutes following an awkward landing after a challenge on the touchline.
