Liverpool beat Arsenal in US friendlySlot's men trial new corner routineReds fans left in awe WHAT HAPPENED?
Liverpool failed to impress during their first pre-season friendly against Real Betis despite securing the win. However, the same was not the case when they took on Arsenal at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The Merseyside club took a two-goal lead with strikes from Mohamed Salah and Fabio Carvalho before Kai Havertz pegged one back for a 2-1 win. It was, however, a unique corner routine that caught the eye of Liverpool fans, who raved about it on social media.

Liverpool's players gathered towards the far corner of the area before scattering in multiple directions as Kostas Tsimikas delivered the ball in. It fell to Curtis Jones but the referee blew for a foul before the midfielder could get a shot away.

After taking over for Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, Slot had pledged to go his own way, and in the pre-season, he has begun to make his mark. Liverpool fans were also ecstatic with how the Reds played out of the back in the build up to Salah's goal on Wednesday night. The Reds executed a brilliant team move that Salah finished off in style.
