Arne Slot extended his perfect start as Liverpool manager with a 2-0 win against Brentford on his Anfield debut, while Noni Madueke hit a hat-trick and then apologised for a social media slur as Chelsea crushed Wolves 6-2 on Sunday.
Slot was serenaded by Liverpool fans before kick-off and goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah ensured the mood remained upbeat as Liverpool made it two successive victories under their new boss.
In front of an Anfield league record crowd of 60 107, Liverpool took the lead in the 13th minute with a blistering break that climaxed with Diaz taking Diogo Jota's pass and firing high into the net. At Molineux, Chelsea made the perfect start after just 98 seconds when Matheus Cunha could only flick his attempted clearance from a corner towards Nicolas Jackson, who was left unmarked to head in from six yards.Jackson's goal infuriated Wolves fans already angry with Chelsea after Madueke posted and then deleted a critical review of Wolverhampton just hours before kick-off.He was more diplomatic after the match, saying:"I just want to apologise to everyone that I might have offended.
The Blues made a hash of clearing Ait-Nouri's free-kick seconds before the halftime whistle and Toti headed it across to Jorgen Strand Larsen, who poked home from close-range. The 22-year-old completed his treble with a carbon copy of his two previous goals, once again finishing off another Palmer assist to silence the Wolves boo-boys.
