Arne Slot Breaks Liverpool Record as Salah Shines in 2-0 Victory Against Bologna

In just nine games, Arne Slot has carved his name into Liverpool’s history books by becoming the first manager to win eight of his opening nine matches. His latest triumph came with a 2-0 victory against Bologna in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Alexis Mac Allister opened the scoring in the first half at Anfield, while Mohamed Salah sealed the win with a powerful strike late in the game, netting his 49th Champions League goal.

Slot, who replaced the legendary Jurgen Klopp, has kept Liverpool’s form at a high level, with the team already leading the Premier League after six matches. The Dutchman’s seamless transition into the role has won him praise, as even iconic managers such as Klopp, Bill Shankly, and Bob Paisley couldn’t match his early success.

“It’s special to achieve something like this at Liverpool. The players have been fantastic and bought into the system right away,” Slot said, reflecting on the milestone.

The victory puts Liverpool in a strong position in their Champions League group, having won their first two matches, and sets the stage for what could be another memorable European campaign for the six-time champions.
