Liverpool 2-0 Bologna: Mac Allister And Salah Strike As Slot's Side Stay Perfect
Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah were on target for Arne Slot's side, who maintained their perfect start to the league phase, having also beaten AC Milan 3-1 on matchday one
Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah were on target for Arne Slot's side, who maintained their perfect start to the league phase, having 🐈also be𓄧aten AC Milan 3-1 on matchday one.
The Reds broke through after just 11 minutes when Mac Allister timed his run perfectly to steer Salah's teasing cross b🅰eyond Bologna goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski.
Liverpool thought they had doubled their♚ lead six minutes later when Darwin Nunez fired home, only to be denied by the offside flag, while the woodwork thwarted Dan Ndoye a🉐t the other end.
The visitors looked to hit back after the break and went close in the 56th minute ﷺas Riccardo Orsolini forced a strong save from Alisson Becker, who was celebrating his 32nd birthday.
However, the hosts gave themselves breathing space - and eventually the three points - with a quarter of an hour r🎃emaining, when Salah brilliantly curled into Skorupski's far corner of the net.
Data Debrief: Salah makes more history as Reds continue to enjoy home comforts
In wrapping up the victory, Salah became the🦂 first Liverpool player to score in five successive home Champions 😼League games.
The Egyptian is also only the third player to achieve the feat for a Premier League side, following in the🤪 footsteps of Thierry Henry with Ars🅺enal (seven) and Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy (six).
Also assisting Mac Allister's opener, Salah has now been directly involved in 14 goals (eight goals, six assists) in his last🍬 11 home European appearances, as many as in his 20 pജrevious such games.
It helped Liverpool record their 11th straight group/league win at Anfield💎 in major European compe😼tition, while they have now scored at least twice in each of their last 10 such games.
