The Reds have become just the third team in Premier League history to manage that feat, with Arsenal and Manchester United doing so in 2001/02.
Slot’s side have now scored 85 goals in 37 league outings this campaign, with Newcastle their nearest rivals on that front on just 67.
Regarding his team's goal-scoring performances, Slot said to Sky Sports, 'It's not just about having powerful attackers; we generate numerous opportunities as well. To score goals, one must create many chances.'
'It isn’t just about having players capable of scoring goals. We put them in those situations repeatedly, which explains why us scoring numerous goals isn’t unexpected.'
The match held little at stake for Liverpool since they had already secured the championship, and Slot appeared to have relished the encounter even though his team suffered defeat.
He lamented the lost opportunities for Mohamed Salah and Federico Chiesa that might have altered the outcome, yet he expressed admiration for Brighton’s performance.
‘Two very good team wanting to play football, not time wasting, no diving,’ he told the BBC. ‘Momentum changed in the game and I waited for us to score the third, that would have killed the game but they made it 2-2. Great game of football but not the result we wanted.
‘These moments at this level do make a difference. Just before that miss Salah gave a similar chance to Federico and it was very well blocked. We played eighth in the Premier League and they were able to bring in [Kaoru] Mitoma. That shows you about the strength of this league.
‘If you don’t score the third one then it’s hard to win a game at this level, especially away from home. We cannot miss chances like we did if you want to win the game.’
Szoboszlai honestly admitted that Brighton seemed more determined for victory, and the players in the Liverpool locker room weren’t particularly bothered about losing.
I can't say we're extremely disappointed, but our aim wasn't just to participate; we came here to secure victory," stated the Hungarian player. "In the initial 70 minutes, we demonstrated that we were eager to claim those three points and bring them back with us. However, we encountered a formidable Brighton squad who truly deserved their win as they appeared far hungrier for it.
'It’s difficult to discuss this since we have already clinched the league title, but our aim isn’t to lose when we’re here. We left nothing on the field against Arsenal as well, and we’ll do the same on Sunday because it’s the last home match, and the supporters deserve that effort.'
