Liverpool traveled to Ipswich for their opening match of the 2024-25 Premier League season.
The home team returned to the Premier League after a 22-year absence. Ipswich had been relegated from the top flight at the end of the 2001-2002 season and had spent all that time playing in the lower leagues.
Arne Slot's first official match in charge of Liverpool was not too challenging for the Merseysiders. The teams went into halftime without any goals.
In the second half, the distinguished visitors scored twice against Ipswich. Diogo Jota opened the scoring with an assist from Mohamed Salah. Then the Egyptian himself found the back of the net, setting the final score of the match.
By the way, Salah has set a unique Premier League record among players. The star Egyptian has now scored nine goals in opening Premier League matches. With this achievement, he has surpassed Alan Shearer, Frank Lampard, and Wayne Rooney.
