Arne Slot beats Jurgen Klopp to new Liverpool record after Champions League win

Liverpool have enjoyed a bright start to life under Arne Slot and their good form continued on Wednesday night with a well deserved win over Bologna in the Champions League.

Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah scored the decisive goal that ensured Liverpool continued their winning start to Champions League action. The Reds defeated AC Milan in their first match but Bologna’s visit was the first at Anfield under Slot.

Slot took charge of his first European night at Anfield and ensured his side secure their eighth win in nine matches.

The victory against Bologna means Slot has started strong than any manager in Liverpool history. Though, the Dutchman did not find much to be happy about despite the victory.

“Not many things to be delighted with,” Slot said, “apart from both goals, especially the second one. Great ball from Virgil [Van Dijk], great attack, great run from Trent Alexander-Arnold. It is always difficult to play a team that takes much risk.

“It wasn’t an easy one, in my opinion Bologna made it difficult – similar to Atalanta, man-mark all over the pitch. Wait for the right moment if you play through completely open – it was many times. The last pass could have been better.”

Liverpool will be eager to improve under Slot as he hopes to continue the great job done by Jurgen Klopp in the past few years.
