Liverpool manager Anislo believes his side's quality difference has earned them a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The Reds dismantled League Two side Accrington Stanley with a 4-0 win.
Federico Chiesa scored his first goal for Liverpool and Trent Alexander-Arnold was also on the scoresheet despite being linked with a move to Real Madrid.
“Credit to them,” Slot said after the game. I think it's a compliment to show their style of play.
“They played the way they always play. In the end, The difference in quality makes a big difference to us; But praise how they've come out these days.
“Trent didn't have his best game against Manchester United but he's been great for us for the rest of the season – I was impressed with his performance today.
🗣️ “There were moments where fans could see why they thought he was talented.” ✨

“Our fans always support him. He never played well, but the fans responded. If Trent plays the way we expect him to, he'll get support.”
“It's definitely a good first step,” he said of Chiesa. But as much as I like the way Accrington Stanley are playing, you have to take into account that we're talking about League Two level.
“It's good to have him back on the field. He threatened, but let's not get away with it.”
16-year-old Rio Ngumoha started for Liverpool and became the youngest player in the club's history to start in the FA Cup.
He showed flashes of quality and left Slot having impressed his bow at Anfield.
He said: “He's done well. I've seen for a while why fans think he's a talent. He's kind of in good shape.
“He showed a bit more in the first half than in the second half. I'm glad you won on your debut. It's a special day for him.”
