Liverpool's head coach Andoni Iraola was all smiles after his side secured a 1-0 away victory against Bournemouth, praising the defensive stability that enabled the team to clinch their third straight clean sheet in the Premier League.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the Spanish manager elaborated on the performance of his backline:
Overall, for the whole team, this is now our third clean sheet in a row. There’s still work to be done and areas to improve, but contributions from players like Jeremy, Ronald’s reliability at right-back, and Milos have given us the necessary strength. This is particularly important during those phases of the game when we need to maintain a lead and defend our position. We look solid as a unit.
As the season kicks off, Liverpool's defence has been impressive, with three clean sheets and only four goals conceded across five matches, placing them joint second in the league for defensive reliability.
