Liverpool Clinches Victory with Jota and Salah's Second-Half Goals

New Liverpool coach Arne Slot started his Premier League journey with a 2-0 win against Ipswich Town. Goals by Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah in the second half ensured victory, witnessed by Ed Sheeran. Despite multiple chances, Liverpool settled with two decisive goals.

Second-half goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah allowed new Liverpool coach Arne Slot to get off to a 2-0 winning start at newly-promoted Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Saturday. Ipswich, cheered on by new minority shareholder and singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran from the Portman Road stands, went toe-to-toe with Liverpool in the first half but failed to take their chances when they presented themselves.

Slot's new side improved markedly after the break, taking the lead on the hour mark through Jota before a fine move was finished off by Egyptian forward Salah five minutes later to effectively kill off the Ipswich challenge. Liverpool had a host of chances to make the result even more emphatic, but two goals were enough to navigate Liverpool and Slot past a tricky first game of the campaign.
