The Premier League is back. And boy, it started with a bang at Anfield. Liverpool hosted Bournemouth in a thrilling 4-2 match. Fans were on the edge of their seats the whole time.
The game opened with a surprise. Bournemouth’s Hugo Ekitike scored early, putting the visitors ahead. Not once, but twice. That got the crowd nervous. Liverpool looked shaky. But then came Cody Gakpo. Fired up and sharp, he scored Liverpool’s first goal just after the break.
Bournemouth wasn’t just going to roll over. Antoine Semenyo showed his pace and scored two quick goals to bring Bournemouth level at 2-2. The race was on. What a fight. What a drama.
And then the magic. Federico Chiesa stepped onto the field late in the game and smashed a stunning volley in the 88th minute. Anfield erupted. The Reds were back in front. But wait, there’s more.
Mohamed Salah, as always, saved his best for last. In stoppage time, he found the net, putting the game beyond doubt. Liverpool fans celebrated wildly.
The lineups? Liverpool featured some new faces alongside the old. Milos Kerkez, once with Bournemouth, was now in red, helping the Reds press hard. The team showed energy, but the defence showed cracks, especially on those runs by Semenyo. Bournemouth’s fight was impressive — this wasn’t just a game; it was a battle.
Statistically, Liverpool dominated possession, but Bournemouth’s direct attacks caused real problems. Shots were fired from both ends. The six-goal thriller gave fans plenty to cheer and talk about.
