ARNE Slot has some way to go to live up to the prodigious achievements of Shankly, Paisley, Dalglish, Souness, Klopp and all who came before in the Liverpool dugout but, on this largely forgettable Champions League night, the new manager set one impressive record.

None of his predecessors managed to win eight of their first nine games in charge of the famous old club but now, thanks to goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah, the Dutchman can make that claim.
