LIVERPOOL STAY PERFECT IN THIS SEASON’S UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Mohamed Salah and Alexis Mac Allister were on target as Liverpool maintained their 100 percent start to the UEFA Champions League with a 2-0 victory over Bologna at Anfield.

The Reds made a supercharged start and took the lead on 11 minutes when Mac Allister tapped home Mohamed Salah’s sensational delivery to snare his first ever goal in Europe’s premier competition.

Bologna had their moments and twice hit the woodwork late in the first period but could not find the goal to dampen the L4 crowd’s spirits.

A cagey second half ensued until Salah became the first Reds player to net in five Champions League home games in a row with a sublime curler on 75 minutes.

Next up, Liverpool will look to maintain their place at the Premier League summit when they visit Crystal Palace on Saturday. 

Mid-table Bologna host Parma in Serie A on Sunday.
