The result leaves the red eight points in front of the second -placed Arsenal, which now has a game in hand.
But the boss of Liverpool believes that his team can still be successful this semester.
“It is important where we are in the league. There is always pressure when you play for Liverpool, ”said Slot TNT Sports after the game.
“We want to achieve something together this season and have all the ingredients for it.
“There are still 12 games and Champions League games, but we are happy where we are.”
However, Slot admitted that he was frustrated on more than one occasion, where he believes that the result does not reflect the performance.
The Dutch also seemed to storm striker Darwin Nunez, who missed a glorious chance to advance Liverpool after he had arrived against Unai Emery’s side as a page in the second half.

“There was a little too much where we played games where we deserved more than we have,” said Slot.
“I look at the Newcastle game (in December) in which we gave at the last minute, and some other games that were now a team that was deserved to win, in my opinion we it.
“I think we had some very good moments and even scored the first goal from a good urgent moment. But we took it as the game went. You (villa) could return in the last minute, but if you look at the chances we had in the second half to go to the front, you can understand that there is a person in the changing room that is pretty feels depressed.
“And you know who it is, I think.”
Next for Liverpool is a trip to the reigning Premier League champions Manchester City on Sunday. The villa organizes Chelsea on Saturday.
