Liverpool's new era under Arne Slot started positively with a 2-0 victory over Ipswich on Saturday, highlighted by Mohamed Salah breaking a Premier League scoring record.

Salah tapped in a close-range finish in the 65th minute, setting his goal record for opening Premier League matches at nine. This achievement surpassed the records of legends Wayne Rooney, Alan Shearer, and Frank Lampard.

Earlier in the match, Salah assisted Diogo Jota's opening goal, signaling Liverpool's improved performance in the second half and marking Slot's first competitive game following Jurgen Klopp's tenure.

Meanwhile, Ipswich's return to the top flight after two decades saw pop star Ed Sheeran cheering from the VIP box, despite the team's potential to concede many goals due to their open playing style.

Liverpool joins Manchester United in starting the season on a high note. Later that day, Arsenal, the previous season’s runner-up, hosted Wolverhampton, while reigning champion Manchester City began its defense against Chelsea on Sunday.
