Mohamed Salah’s screamer seals Liverpool’s victory

There are tougher tests to come and there is more work to be done, as Arne Slot frequently likes to remind Liverpool, but there is no disputing the belief, quality and momentum that is surging through this team under the guidance of their new head coach. Slot became the first Liverpool manager or head coach in history to record eight wins from his first nine matches as Bologna were dispatched in a hard-fought contest at Anfield.

Alexis Mac Allister marked his and Slot’s Champions League home debut for Liverpool with his first goal of the season. Mohamed Salah, having provided the pinpoint assist for the World Cup winner’s opener, quashed the Italians’ hopes of a point with a stunning second-half strike on Liverpool’s 250th appearance in the European Cup. New leader, new era this may be, but Liverpool’s promise on the European stage remains intact.

“I don’t draw any conclusions [from his record-breaking start] but it is nice,” said Slot. “So many incredible managers have worked here and achieved so many special things.
