Wow, the Premier League is back. Champions Liverpool seemed to have thrown away an opening-day win, squandering a two-goal lead after a fine fightback from Bournemouth. It ends 4-2 to Slot’s side at Anfield, however, after late drama powered by Chiesa and Salah. Ekitike opened the scoring eight minutes before half-time with his first league goal for the club on his debut, before teeing up Gakpo shortly after the interval to double the home side’s lead. Semenyo clearly had taken no notice of the script, however, with his double after the hour dragging Iraola’s side level. Slot responded by surprisingly removing debutant Wirtz for Chiesa, who popped up as the 88th-minute hero with his first Premier League goal for Liverpool. Salah was not done there, though, continuing his fine record on the first matchday in this competition with a stoppage-time strike before paying tribute to the late Diogo Jota. Slot will feel it was a deserved victory, having watched his side accumulate 2.15 expected goals (xG) to Bournemouth’s 1.63. Liverpool will have to wait until August 25 for their next outing in a visit to Newcastle United, while Bournemouth host Wolves in eight days’ time. That is all we have time for here, so it’s goodbye for now – until next time!
