‘Mesmerizing Football’ – How Slot's Liverpool Engine Roared to Life.

Liverpool's new era under boss Arne Slot began with a solid 2-0 victory over newly-promoted Ipswich Town at Portman Road.

Liverpool overcame a frustrating first half to score twice after the break, marking a successful start for new manager Arne Slot in his first competitive game since Jurgen Klopp's departure.

Slot, who has yet to make any signings, is the first permanent Liverpool manager to win his first league match in charge since Graeme Souness in 1991.

Despite a lackluster first half, Liverpool's performance improved significantly after the break, with Peter Crouch praising their football as "breathtaking."

"Liverpool needed to make a statement with a new manager and no new signings," said former Liverpool and England striker Crouch on TNT Sports. "The way they opened up Ipswich made it look like they could score at will."
