Ipswich impressed in flashes i♚n their first Premier League match since꧙ 2002, but Liverpool ultimately had too much as the Slot era began with a comfortable triumph at Portman Road.
Their g༺oals came in quick succession – Diogo Jota opening the scoring on the hour with a composed close-range finish.
Having supplied the assist for Liverpool’s opener, Mohamed Salah got in on the ac🔯t himself in the 65th minute, and Slot’s side showed no sign of slipping up from there.
Jota had squandered a golden chance just before putting Liverpool ahead, though the Reds were arguab♔ly second-best for much of the first half.
Ipswich could not mak🦩e the most of their openings, however, and Kieran McKenna's team were ultimately puღnished as the Tractor Boys lost on their long-awaited return to the big time.
