The Arne Slot era is off to a perfect start as Mo Salah and Diogo Jota got the job done in East Anglia to give Liverpool a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town.

Persecondnews observed that despite not signing any players in the transfer, it was the same players but a different approach and mentality.

Liverpool took it up a gear in the second half, exploiting the gaps left behind when Ipswich’s upfront goals from Jota and Salah sealed a victory for Slot men.

Ipswich can be proud of their first display back in the top flight, but not many teams will be able to deal with the Reds when they turn it on.

“Its great to be back; the weather is warm, and I am happy to make an impact in the game. “I’m trying to help the team all the time,” Salah said after the game, according to Persecondnews.

Slot is the first manager to win their opening Premier League game for Liverpool since Gérard Houllier and Roy Evans beat Southampton in 1998, when they were jointly in charge.
