The English champions began their title defense with a BLAST against Iraola’s Bournemouth. Just when it seemed victory was slipping away thanks to Semenyo’s brace, Federico Chiesa came off the bench to act as an unlikely hero. Mohamed Salah sealed the deal. However, it was the Italian’s volley that paved the way for the three points.
Antoine Semenyo is the first player to score a brace this season in the Premier League. ⚽️⚽️🍒✊🏿
Antoine Semenyo with 3 goals against Liverpool surpasses Joshua King (2) and now becomes the top scorer in the history of Bournemouth against Liverpool in the Premier League.
What a great game to start!
After spending more than €200 million in the transfer market, Liverpool are saved by their only signing from last season, when they spent almost nothing on a player like Federico Chiesa.
Hugo Ekitike scored and assisted on his Premier League debut (what a performance from the Frenchman), and the underrated Cody Gakpo added another goal to his tally. Arne Slot’s team has a lot of work to do (especially in defensive transitions), but it will ALWAYS be positive to start the season with a win.
Mohamed Salah scored the goal that sealed Liverpool’s victory in their first Premier League match of the season. How did he celebrate? He did his friend Diogo Jota’s iconic crocodile celebration while the eternal number 20 shirt appeared in the stands. A great moment.
Mohamed Salah (33) has contributed in EVERY Premier League opening day fixture since he joined Liverpool…
One game into the 2025/26 season and Mohamed Salah has already set a new record. 👑
The Egyptian is the first player to score 10 Premier League goals on MD1 in the competition’s history.
He’s either scored or assisted on the opening weekend in EVERY season at Liverpool. 👏
His late strike was also his 106th at Anfield in the Premier League for Liverpool, meaning Thierry Henry (114 at Highbury) is the only player to score more at a single ground in the competition’s history.
