However, Liverpool managed to dodge any late drama and keep their 100 per cent record intact, even after their hard-fought midweek win against Atletico Madrid.

The Premier League champions are sitting pretty at the top of the table, despite manager Slot still fine-tuning his summer signings.

Alexander Isak made his league debut for the Reds as a second-half substitute and the £125million forward will be keen to cement his place in the starting line-up soon.

Wayne Rooney has suggested that Mohamed Salah might not be pleased with the spotlight shining on Isak following his record-breaking transfer from Newcastle United.

Here's a round-up of Liverpool headlines.

Rooney has argued that Salah will not be pleased that his position as Liverpool's talisman could be under threat following Alexander Isak's arrival at the club.

The 33-year-old scored an impressive 29 league goals as Liverpool secured the Premier League title last season and has contributed six goals in as many matches this campaign.

Nevertheless, former Manchester United and Everton striker Rooney reckons Salah may object to Isak trying to establish himself as Liverpool's new star performer.

The Swedish forward found the net 27 times for Newcastle across all competitions last term, persuading the Reds to shell out a British record £125m for his services.

"Even though Salah has been the best player at Liverpool for years, he won't be happy that Isak has come in and is getting the attention," Rooney told BBC Radio 5 Live.

The Dutch midfielder netted the opener with a superb strike before setting up Ekitike to put Liverpool two goals ahead before the interval.

The 23-year-old arrived from Bayern Munich in a £34m deal on deadline day in 2023.
