Arne Slot made it a winning start to his Liverpool tenure as his side turned on the style in the second half to beat Ipswich Town 2-0.
Kieran McKenna’s newly-promoted side restricted Liverpool to no shots on target in the first 45 minutes as their intensity and pressing made life hard for the Reds but the difference in class soon shone through after the break.
Diogo Jota got the first Premier League goal of the Slot era when gobbling up an expert pass from Mohamed Salah on 60 minutes before Salah got his own five minutes later and became the outright top scorer in Premier League opening-day matches with nine goals.
