Mohamed Salah’s screamer seals Liverpool’s victory over Bologna
There will be tougher tests to come, as Arne Slot frequently likes to remind Liverpool, but there is no disputing the confidence, quality and momentum that is surging through this team under the guidance of its new head coach. Slot became the first Liverpool manager in history to record eight victories from his first nine matches in charge as Bologna were dispatched in a hard-fought contest at Anfield.
Alexis Mac Allister marked his first Champions League home game for Liverpool with his first goal of the season. Mohamed Salah quashed Bologna’s growing hopes of a point with a stunning second-half strike to extend his European goalscoring record for the club on Liverpool’s 250th appearance in the Champions League/European Cup. New leader, new era this may be, but Liverpool’s authority on the European stage remains unchanged.
