Liverpool kick off their competitive stint under Arne Slot with a consummate 2-0 away win at Ipswich and see a fine Premier League performance on the opening day.
The first half saw an interesting contest, with Ipswich looking industrious on the counter while Liverpool took a little while to warm up.
Greaves and Hutchinson forced Alisson into relatively routine saves with little response in the first period, yet after seemingly stern words from Slot at the break – the Reds came out swinging and forced the opener 15 minutes into the new half.
On his 350th all-competition appearance for the club, Salah crept around the back of Davis to beat the offside trap and square smartly for Jota to shape it round Walton.
Just five minutes later, Salah went from provider to scorer – poking home smartly inside the left post after Ipswich failed to deal with mounting pressure.
With this goal, Salah became the Premier League’s best opening day scorer with nine strikes in season curtain-raisers.
