TNT Sports commentator Ally McCoist was left mesmerised by Mohamed Salah after he guided Liverpool into commanding control against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
The Reds kicked off their pursuit of a seventh European Cup against the Spanish outfit at Anfield on Wednesday. Slot's players, who are the current Premier League title holders, were eliminated from last season's tournament by eventual winner Paris Saint-Germain. Nevertheless, they made a blistering beginning against Diego Simeone's squad.
Salah's set-piece was diverted home by Andy Robertson after merely four minutes to give the Reds the lead before Salah netted a second just moments afterwards.
The attacker is now two strikes away from hitting 50 in the Champions League, and McCoist was left spellbound by his positioning for the Reds' second strike.
Speaking on TNT Sports in the immediate wake of the goal, the former Rangers striker said: "This is magnificent. It's all about the weight of the return pass to him and the use of Salah's body.
"Look at his body strength, he puts himself in between two defenders, and once he gets in that position, you know he's finishing. Great goal."
Featuring alongside Salah for the Reds was new acquisition Alexander Isak, and Arne Slot disclosed before the match that his intention was always to field the former Newcastle striker against Atletico.
He said: "This was the plan all along. This is why he was not involved in the Burnley game, so he could have some proper sessions at the time he was with us.
"That's what you need in pre-season as well. You don't start by playing friendlies, you start with a proper training week and at the end of that training week, you can play 45, maybe 60 minutes, and that's what we're going to see with him today."
A brace from Marcos Llorente threatened to ruin Liverpool's Champions League opener, but Virgil van Dijk stepped up in the 92nd minute to give the Reds a 3-2 victory at Anfield.
"We kept pushing for the 3-1, but to concede a massively deflected equalizer was obviously not great," Van Dijk told TNT Sports after Wednesday's game.
"We found a way again. We were dangerous in our set-pieces. They were pretty aggressive, but I'm glad I got the winner.
"Atletico are a team that never gives up, with quality players that can punish you. Eventually, though, we had to keep going, show resilience, and it was another great European night here.
"It is always good to get a winning start playing at home in a good game against a good opponent."
