Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has seen a “totally different” Federico Chiesa from 12 months ago and believes that was reflected in his game-changing contribution off the bench as they opened their Premier League defence with a victory.

The Italy international endured a difficult first season at Anfield as fitness issues restricted him to just 14 appearances, with his only league start coming at Brighton after the title was won.
