00:00THE CHAMPIONS!
00:30The most exciting up-and-coming clubs in European football
00:35and they are here tonight to try to test the might of Liverpool.
00:39But Diego Jota's missed a couple of training sessions this week
00:42so with Darwin Nunez having recovered from illness, he starts.
00:45Jota's on the bench for that as Santiago Castro was.
00:49The coach, Vincenzo Italiano, said he's fine but he doesn't start him tonight.
00:53It is Thijs de Linge who leads the line.
01:00Liverpool minds don't have to drift too far to be reminded of
01:04what hurt can be caused by Italian visitors.
01:07Think Atalanta here last season in the Europa League
01:10and how they wrecked what was meant to be Jurgen Klopp's fitting finale.
01:14New management, new competition now.
01:17Liverpool might have only been away from the Champions League for one season.
01:22Kasper Obanski who has a great deal of potential even at his tender years of 20.
01:30Nunez.
01:32A bit of space for Salah.
01:34McAlister!
01:37All alone.
01:42Two Colombians on the pitch tonight.
01:45Two different colour shirts, Luis Diaz and John La Cuma.
01:51Nunez away and scoring!
01:55But not for the first time in the early throws.
01:57Another offside flag denies a goal.
02:00And this one is a Liverpool goal.
02:09Just on that angle alone it looks like Sam Bokema has
02:13stepped up in the nick of time there.
02:16He's kept his head up.
02:18And the run from McAlister.
02:20Not tracked.
02:21Not tracked.
02:25The ball landing right on the boots.
02:29And the lead belongs to Liverpool.
02:40Seboslai.
02:43Salah.
02:45Seboslai!
02:46Unlucky.
02:52Short, sharp exchanges of passes.
02:55Seboslai had to be precise.
03:03Dyke stepping in, taking it off Obanski.
03:06Nunez.
03:08Nunez unlucky.
03:12It's a very awkward one for him.
03:15La Cuma ran out of room in the end.
03:17But managed to get that pass upfield towards Obanski.
03:20Now away from that.
03:22De Liga is down.
03:23Van Dijk has been booked.
03:27It happened off the ball between the two of them.
03:38Seboslai, it was loose.
03:41Seboslai, it was loose.
03:43Troyer's lay-off.
03:44The hit from Ndoye.
03:45And the deflection off the bar.
03:54Seboslai didn't really want that ball at head height from Alisson.
04:00And even though the flag has been...
04:06Mestillas.
04:08Into the path of Darwin Nunez.
04:17He's put himself into some super positions already tonight.
04:20Liverpool's number nine.
04:27Miranda and Moro over the Bologna free-kick.
04:32Moro.
04:33Great ball from him.
04:35And in the end, they got in each other's way.
04:37It was Posh, I think, on the ground who...
04:40sent it away from Alisson's goal rather than towards it.
04:46Brilliant ball in from Moro.
04:50And that's got the Bologna fans...
04:54making some noise.
04:55Here they come again.
04:56Alisson not able to hold on.
04:59And Ndoye off the post!
05:01He came through a cluster of bodies towards his goal.
05:07Snapshot from Ndoye.
05:10Well, all in all, another successful 45 minutes of this...
05:14new Arneslot era.
05:17And indeed, we are going to have no more than 60 seconds of stoppage time
05:20at the end of the first half.
05:26Moro.
05:28Awesome.
05:29Moro.
05:31Orsellini!
05:32Alisson getting his angles right.
05:40Salah's lay-off ball grabbing back.
05:44His influence in the first half was certainly noticeable.
05:46Salah!
05:50On it already from Mo Salah.
06:00Almost able to add to his 47 European goals, Mo Salah.
06:09He's on the brink, anyway, of a record tonight because if he doesn't...
06:18Good night for English clubs in the Champions League.
06:20Yesterday wins for Arsenal over Paris Saint-Germain
06:22and that cosy one for Manchester City as well...
06:27in Bratislava.
06:29A trusting one for Italian teams into winners.
06:33Milan loses, though.
06:35Leverkusen.
06:37This is Salah.
06:39Almost Salah!
06:40Brilliant!
06:45That is a terrific goal from Mo Salah.
06:55Retrieving it in an area where Bologna perhaps felt they should have had him covered.
06:59And maybe they should.
07:01He's gone past Juan Miranda way too easily.
07:06But still with so much work to do.
07:10How many times have we seen Mo Salah caress a ball with such perfection and power like that?
07:22Is Bologna team going to end the night empty-handed here?
07:29Milan!
07:31Milan!
07:33Milan!
07:35Milan!
07:37Milan!
07:39Milan!
07:41Milan!
07:43Milan!
07:45Milan!
07:47Consecutive Italian jobs completed by Liverpool.
07:51It was Milan a couple of weeks ago, tonight it is Bologna.
07:54It is Bologna.
07:58And two goals of an entirely different nature.
08:01One from close range from McAllister in the first half.
08:05And a thing of beauty and brilliance from Mo Salah in the second.
