Liverpool managed to achieve their first victory under the leadership of Dutch coach Arne Slot, by leading them to a 2-0 victory over their host, Ipswich Town, who returned to the top of the Premier League, in the first stage of the English Football League, in a match during which the Egyptian Mohamed Salah achieved a record achievement by scoring the second goal.
In their first league match with Ipswich since a 5-0 win at Anfield on May 11, 2002, a match that caused their rivals to leave the Premier League and their absence from it until this season, Liverpool made a good start under the leadership of the successor to German coach Jurgen Klopp, who bid farewell to the Reds at the end of last season in third place behind champions Manchester City and runners-up Arsenal.
With this victory, Slot became only the second manager out of nine to win his first game in charge of the Reds in the Premier League, which began in 1992-93, after Frenchman Gerard Houllier, who beat Southampton in August 1998 but was then in charge with Roy Evans, and lost his first game in the job alone against Leeds United in November of that year.
Despite not making any new signings this summer, Liverpool completed what they started in their pre-season matches by beating Arsenal, Manchester United and Sevilla.
Liverpool scored their first goal in the 60th minute when the ball reached Salah on the right side of the penalty area, and he played it to the Portuguese Diogo Jota, who followed it into the net.
Then Mohamed Salah made history as the first player to score nine goals in the opening match of the Premier League after exchanging the ball with the Hungarian Dominik Szoboszlai (65), surpassing the eight opening goals scored by Alan Shearer, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney.
