Arne Slot became the first Liverpool manager to win eight of his opening nine matches as Mohamed Salah's brilliant strike sealed a 2-0 victory against Bologna.
Slot has made a flying start to his reign after replacing Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool's second successive victory in this season's Champions League was another landmark moment for the Dutchman.
Alexis Mac Allister put Liverpool ahead in the first half at Anfield and Salah bagged his 49th Champions League goal in the closing stages.
With Liverpool sitting top of the Premier League six matches into the season, the understated Slot has deftly ensured the Reds haven't missed a beat since the end of Klopp's successful reign.
"It says a lot about how we started, how the players bought into it and the effort put in," Slot said.
"We've kept many things the same, the players were very happy with former regimes. It's nice to start this way."
