Late Goals Give Liverpool Winning Start on Emotional Night at Anfield
Liverpool began their Premier League title defence with a dramatic 4-2 victory over Bournemouth on an emotional night at Anfield.
Tributes were paid to Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, who died in a car crash in July, with a minute’s silence before kick-off and applause in the 20th minute.
Arne Slot handed first league starts to four summer signings, with forward Hugo Ekitike opening the scoring and later setting up Cody Gakpo for the second. The match was briefly halted in the first half when Antoine Semenyo reported racial abuse from the crowd.
Semenyo responded with determination, scoring twice to bring Bournemouth level. But Liverpool struck late, Federico Chiesa netting his first Premier League goal in the 88th minute before Mohamed Salah sealed the win.
The result ensures the champions start the season with three points in front of an emotional home crowd.
