Liverpool is making one of the toughest fixture lists in the new-format Champions League look quite easy. Two Italian teams have now been dealt with.

Mohamed Salah — creator of the opener — made it 2-0 in the second half with a wonderful finish, a scoreline that means Slot is the first Liverpool manager to ever record eight wins from his first nine games in charge. Gregg Evans and James Horncastle analyse the talking points from the game.

After kicking off the Champions League well with a victory over Milan, Liverpool will follow things up facing a disappointing Bologna side. A lot has changed since last season for both of them but Bologna breaking in a new manager and key players at multiple positions will make this a tough match against Liverpool finding their feet under Arne Slot.
