MO SALAH’S glorious solo goal capped Liverpool’s grafting victory over a useful Bologna side.
Alexis Mac Allister’s 11th-minute tap-in and Salah’s far-corner thumper 15 minutes from time made it two wins from two Champions League games under new Reds’ boss Arne Slot.

Bologna were still smarting from Thjijs Dallinga having a goal ruled outside for offside against the Dutch forward himself when Liverpool broke through.
Salah’s brilliant cross left Mac Allister with a close-range slot-home for his first goal of the season.
The Egyptian, who went into the tie with 48 Champions League goals, drilled an effort just wide soon after the break.
And he went one short of the half-ton with one shot of the highest class.
Jinking around wide on the right, with danger at a minimum, Salah suddenly tricked his way inside before turning onto his left-foot for a far corner thunderbolt on 75 minutes.
