Slot makes Liverpool history as Reds beat Bologna

Arne Slot became the first Liverpool manager to win eight of his opening nine matches as Mohamed Salah's brilliant strike sealed a 2-0 victory against Bologna in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Slot has made a flying start to his reign after replacing Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool's second successive victory in this season's Champions League was another landmark moment for the Dutchman.

Alexis Mac Allister put Liverpool ahead in the first half at Anfield and Salah bagged his 49th Champions League goal in the closing stages.

Already sitting top of the Premier League six matches into the season, the understated Slot has deftly ensured Liverpool haven't missed a beat since the end of Klopp's successful reign.
