The most memorable and important highs and lows of the club’s championship success under Arne Slot
A trip to Ipswich was a less than ideal way for Arne Slot to get his Liverpool reign off and running. The sun was out and Portman Road was crackling with anticipation as the hosts soaked in a return to the top flight after 22 years away. Roared on by their supporters, Kieran McKenna’s men indeed proved a stern test, with Jacob Greaves and Omari Hutchinson coming close to giving them the lead. But the visitors held firm and prevailed thanks to goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah.
