Liverpool made it two wins from two under Arne Slot as goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah sealed a 2-0 victory over Brentford in his first Premier League home game in charge.The Liverpool supporters inside Anfield gave their new head coach a warm welcome and his team responded with an opening goal after only 13 minutes as Diaz finished emphatically from Diogo Jota's pass following a scintillating counter-attack. The breakaway goal was reminiscent of Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp but Slot is trying to implement his own playing style and, as in the opening-weekend win over Ipswich at Portman Road, it was not until after half-time that his side hit their stride.Alisson was called into action to make a smart save from a Nathan Collins header but Brentford lacked a cutting edge without the absent Ivan Toney and Liverpool deservedly doubled their lead as Salah's impressive start to the season continued.
