'Breathtaking football' – how Slot's Liverpool machine kicked into gear

Liverpool's era under new boss Arne Slot got off to a winning start with a 2-0 win over newly-promoted Ipswich Town at Portman Road.

The Reds overcame a frustrating opening half to score two goals after half-time in their first competitive game since Jurgen Klopp left the club at the end of last season.

Slot, who has yet to make a signing since taking over, is the first permanent Liverpool manager to win his first league match in sole charge since Graeme Souness in 1991.

While Liverpool were below-par in the first half, they produced a much stronger second half showing with Peter Crouch labelling their football "breathtaking".
