Liverpool manager Arne Slot claims Arsenal's defeat to Newcastle United 'feels special'.
With Manchester City losing to Bournemouth, the Reds will end the weekend top of the Premier League table after defeating Brighton and Hove Albion.
The Reds' victory was not easy to come by as they had to rally back with 20 minutes left in the second half.

Nevertheless, the Gunners' defeat at St Jame's Park felt special for Slot after they secured a point against Mikel Arteta's side last weekend.
"It feels special because we faced Arsenal last week," Slot said, as per Goal.
"They are a tough team with a clear vision for the game, and today we saw the same quality from City.
"Facing two top teams in quick succession, we had to come from behind in both matches to secure results, which made today particularly rewarding, not just because of the other outcomes."
Slot and Reds will be back in UEFA Champions League this week, as they welcome former Reds star Xabi Alonso and his Bayer Leverkusen to Anfield on Tuesday.
