Juergen Klopp's successor Slot is just the second Liverpool manager in the Premier League era to record a victory on his league debut, after Gerard Houllier in August 1998 in a joint-management role with Roy Evans.

Salah's well-taken second goal took the Egyptian to nine goals in the opening rounds of Premier League seasons, more than anyone else.
