Liverpool began the defense of their Premier League title with a “dramatic victory” over Bournemouth on an “emotional night” at Anfield.
New £70m signing Hugo Ekitike broke the deadlock for the Reds before assisting Cody Gakpo for a second goal, which seemed to put Liverpool on course for a comfortable win.
However, Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth, showing “great character and resolve,” scored twice to bring the Cherries back into the game, including an equalizer with “14 minutes from time.”

The comeback was short-lived, as Federico Chiesa scored with two minutes left in the game, and Mohamed Salah sealed the 4-2 win.
Before the match, tributes were paid to Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, who died in a car crash in July.
Additionally, the game was briefly halted in the first half after Semenyo reported being racially abused by a member of the crowd.
