Arne Slot began his tenure as Liverpool manager on a positive note with a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town on Saturday.
Second-half goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah were enough to secure the deserved win against the newly promoted side.
The match, played at Portman Road, saw Ipswich initially hold their own against the Premier League giants.
Ipswich created several opportunities but failed to capitalize on any. The hosts put up a strong resistance, challenging Liverpool’s defense and keeping the scoreline level at halftime.
After a goalless first half, Liverpool emerged stronger in the second period, showing more urgency and attacking intent.
Jota broke the deadlock on the hour mark with a well-placed shot that beat Ipswich goalkeeper Christian Walton. Just five minutes later, Salah finished off a well-executed team move, converting a precise pass from Jota to double Liverpool’s lead, ending Ipswich’s hopes of a comeback.
Despite having additional chances to extend the lead, including a notable attempt by Darwin Núñez, Liverpool’s two goals were sufficient to ensure a comfortable victory and start their Premier League campaign on a high note.
