Slot made history as the first Liverpool manager to win eight of his first nine games in charge, but the victory wasn’t without its tense moments.
EDITOR’S PICKS
The Reds took an early lead in the 12th minute when Mac Allister converted from close range after a precise low cross from Salah.
Both teams had potential goals disallowed for offside—Thijs Dallinga for Bologna and Darwin Nunez for Liverpool—while the Italians, making their Champions League debut, ended the first half strongly.
Dan Ndoye struck the post, and Alisson was forced into a key save after a mistake by Trent Alexander-Arnold nearly gifted Kacper Urbanski a goal.
Bologna continued to threaten after the break, with Alisson producing a series of fine saves, including a close-range effort from Riccardo Orsolini and a wild shot over the bar from Urbanski.
However, Liverpool sealed the win when Salah scored his 49th Champions League goal, curling a sublime left-footed strike into the top corner, extending Slot’s impressive start since replacing Jurgen Klopp in the summer.
