The debut of Dutch coach Arne Slot at Anfield Road was frankly auspicious, stepping into the difficult shoes of the charismatic Jürgen Klopp, who led the team from 2015 to 2024.
The Egyptian Mohamed Salah, in his 100th appearance for the ‘reds’, scored the 2-0 in the 70th minute, assisted by Colombian Luis Diaz, the ‘man of the match’, as he was the one who scored the first goal at the 13th minute, set up by Portuguese Diogo Jota.
The Portuguese international, who left the game at the 72nd minute, played as the most advanced player in the team, continuing to be one of the indisputable players under Arne Slot.
Next Sunday, Liverpool has a tough away game against historic Manchester United, which was beaten on Saturday by Brighton, the current vice-leader of the league.
The English League is led by Manchester City, with six points, the same as Brighton, Arsenal, and Liverpool.
