Liverpool showed up. And they did not disappoint. The Premier League season kicked off at Anfield on Friday, and the Reds grabbed a nail-biting 4-2 win over Bournemouth.
The game? Full of twists. Bournemouth took the lead early with two goals. Liverpool fans held their breath. But the Reds didn’t fold. They fought back hard.
Hugo Ekitike, Bournemouth’s star, was on fire in the first half. But Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo showed real skill, doubling their lead early in the second half. The crowd’s energy shot through the roof.
Bournemouth wasn’t done, though. Antoine Semenyo scored twice, equalising the score and making the match a real thriller. The tension was rising.
Then came Liverpool’s comeback moment. Federico Chiesa, who came off the bench, hit a stunning volley in the 88th minute. The crowd went wild. And just when you thought the game would end close? Mohamed Salah struck in the dying minutes, sealing it. 4-2, final score.
The game wasn’t without drama, either. A brief halt due to allegations of racial abuse made headlines. But on the field, the football stole the show.
Liverpool’s defence showed some holes, especially around Semenyo’s runs, but their attack? Wowed fans all night.
This win puts Liverpool on top of the league table to start the season. The fans are buzzing; hopefully, this could be the start of another great run.
Where to next? Liverpool aims to keep this momentum. Fans will be watching closely.
