Liverpool

Join Alex Hess for goal updates and key match action from the 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League and beyond.

They host Leicester, another listlessly out-of-form outfit, in a meeting that the visitors will be desperate to win not only in order to arrest their slump but to pre-emptively stick it to turncoat Wesley Fofana, who’s in the process of screeching off to join today’s opponents. Mohamed Salah burrows down the right and pops the ball back to Roberto Firmino, who swings in a terrific cross. And then there’s Manchester City, a crack crew whose cocky new recruit may or may not have upset the finely tuned sense of harmony. Ruben Loftus-Cheek also stays put in the engine room for the visit of Leicester. The gang in question? But the Egyptian contrives to miss a sitter. He whips in a fiendish free-kick which hits Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker and finally Stones before pinballing into the City net. Liverpool inches away from going 3-0 up with a Brazil-1970 wondergoal, Fabinho starting a move that ends up at the feet of Salah via some lighting interplay between Firmino, Diaz and Elliott. Another moment of defending from the champions, another goal conceded. Again it’s an Eze set-piece, his flighted corner finding the head of Joachim Andersen and the Dane heads coolly home, unbothered by anything resembling a marker. Four in half an hour for the crisis club. And what a ludicrous one this is: Gallagher takes out Harvey Barnes to halt a Leicester counterattack.

Liverpool claimed their biggest ever Premier League win as Roberto Firmino and Luis Díaz both scored twice in a 9-0 rout of Bournemouth.

Díaz ended the exhibition as he had opened it, scoring with a header from the substitute Tsimikas’s corner. It was never tested here, although he was able to exhibit his attacking process with a stunning third goal when breaking through Bournemouth’s midfield and following Anfield’s instruction to shoot after a one-two with Firmino. Jordan Henderson wore a vest that read: “RIP Olivia YNWA” and dedicated victory to the murdered child. The Brazil international produced three assists and a goal in the opening 31 minutes and, to be blunt, extracted the Michael out of Scott Parker’s outclassed team. The Egypt international’s cross struck Firmino and Elliott swept a superb left-foot finish into the bottom corner from 20 yards. Harvey’s proud father eventually got the jacket back and Liverpool, after a midweek dressing down from Jürgen Klopp, got their season back on track in record fashion too.

Their problem was that they also departed defeated by a record margin. Liverpool equalled the biggest ever Premier League win, set twice by Manchester United ...

It was a statement of intent, and it had been from the start. They reverted to Klopp’s original blueprint: the early assault, the aim to win a game long before it was over. His passing was superb and it was his teasing cross that a sliding Chris Mepham diverted into his own net for Liverpool’s sixth goal. Carvalho added to that argument, volleying in when the lively Tsimikas, who got two assists in his cameo, met Alexander-Arnold’s diagonal ball with a cushioned pass. [Trent Alexander-Arnold](/topic/trent-alexander-arnold) endured a traumatic night defensively at Old Trafford but showed his attacking excellence. [Roberto Firmino](/topic/roberto-firmino) was a very different kind of headline act, and not merely because he is the false nine. Notions of crisis were nonsensical but a side who were poor at Manchester United on Monday had a point to prove.

[Mohamed Salah](/topic/mohamed-salah) and you stop [Liverpool](/topic/liverpool-fc)? He had two assists after six minutes, albeit when one was accidental, and three after half an hour.

A minute's applause is held before Liverpool's game for the nine-year-old girl, who was shot in her home.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of her murder, while a woman was detained on suspicion of assisting an offender. Ms Dale was the half-sister of 16-year-old Lewis Dunne, who was shot dead in a case of mistaken identity in Liverpool in 2015. The applause at Anfield was part of a series of tributes in the city, after four people were killed in the space of a week in Merseyside. He was with a group of friends in Lavrock Bank cul-de-sac when they were shot at by riders on two electric bikes, Merseyside Police said. Balloons were also released at Sefton Park in memory of Ashley Dale, who was gunned down in her garden on Sunday.

Jürgen Klopp believed his Liverpool squad had a point to prove to themselves in their stunning 9-0 Premier League victory over AFC Bournemouth at Anfield.

Luis Diaz and Roberto Firmino both scored twice at Anfield.

The visitors were hit by a fifth on the stroke of half-time. Firmino struck across the face of goal as Liverpool threatened to score again. The goal was rubberstamped after a VAR check and Liverpool doubled their advantage in the sixth minute. Firmino grabbed a second of the afternoon before leaving to a standing ovation.

He looked a man on a mission to rectify that in the second half but the Egyptian was ultimately left frustrated. The man who directly contributed to 37 Premier League goals last season was unable to get a goal or set up a team-mate despite such a one-sided affair. Klopp admitted on the eve of this contest that a new midfielder is needed and 9-0 win or not, that remains the case. Of the nine men in reserve, two were goalkeepers and three were outfield players without a single first-team appearance to their name. He was not the only player who drastically upped their level for the visit of the Cherries but he was perhaps the most influential. [Liverpool](/latest/liverpool-fc) matched the record for the biggest ever Premier League win and got their first victory of the season with a 9-0 demolition of Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.

But when you look at the other two teams that went up and you look what they spend and you look at Bournemouth and say, 'OK, what will happen there?' It's not about the squad is not strong enough, or whatever, not at all, it's just the league is a really tough one - a really tough one - especially in a club like Bournemouth you need backing from everybody because it will be difficult. This specific game we really felt we came short, but because of ourselves, not for other reasons and so there was something to build on, but it's difficult to get that out of a game like this, so you better ignore it completely, use it as a completely negative experience. It's clear in the moment when you have the promotion, it's already clear the problems start now, so I think he is doing incredible, absolutely outstanding job arriving there and getting promoted immediately in a league where Fulham is flying away and Nottingham flying - that was a big one. We really liked what we saw most of the time, and then you don't get it really on the ground so that [is] when you have to turn a few other screws, but that's the job obviously and so, of course, when it then works out like today it's fantastic, but for us and everybody should celebrate today... we cannot give guarantees for results, but what we expect from ourselves is that we give guarantees for performance levels and today we started. It just feels, it's not that we worked less in the last eight weeks, or whatever it is since we started again, it's not like that, it's not that we thought that will be difficult. So for him, again, high up the pitch, more between the centre-halves, dropping, yes, but in different areas between the different lines and arriving in the box, being part of the massive chance in the first half when it was the little one-two with Harvey I think, backheel - that's Bobby Firmino how we all know him. half-time for us was important that we again keep going, because it's early in the season and it's not for us now to control it a little bit and let them score one and have this kind of bitter taste after a wonderful afternoon, so then you get out [of the] blocks again with 6-0 and everybody scored and we could bring on the kids, which deserve it so much, so we could rotate if you want at the start of the most busy period I have experienced. So 9-0 is a strange result, will not happen often in the combination with the weather we had today, it probably will never happen again - it would be too much coincidence. He played, I know that's not the moment to talk about individual performances when you lose at Man United 2-1, but he played a really good game there. In the end it was the perfect football afternoon for us, lot of different goalscorers, all these kind of things, so, wonderful goals, fantastic situations and we know we needed something like that. You just have to give the game a proper direction and that's why I loved the start today so much.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he didn't want to "humiliate" Bournemouth after Premier League record-equalling 9-0 victory on Saturday.

"At least we don't have to answer the question anymore [about not winning]. We'll watch Newcastle tomorrow and see what we can do against them." The game settled and we kept scoring. We won't get carried away. That's what we have to do now. "We scored wonderful goals.

Liverpool hit nine goals past Bournemouth at Anfield to issue an emphatic response to recent poor performances.

Flick passes were a theme of the first 45 minutes, with Andy Robertson attempting to set up Diaz with a back-heeled ball just before the break.

Liverpool's record-equalling win over Bournemouth re-affirmed the belief that Trent Alexander-Arnold is not a defender.

In theory, it makes sense, but when you play it out, how do you change the formation to accommodate it?"

Liverpool match report and verdict from the 9-0 victory against Bournemouth at Anfield.

Such a statement in August seems absurd, but that is the levels the Reds and Man City have dragged the English elite to and what now needs to keep being reached for any chance of success. With Liverpool already playing catch-up, once the glow of this victory passes, supporters will again be demanding a new recruit. Meanwhile, debuts for Stefan Bajcetic and Bobby Clark from the bench was the cherry on the sweetest of cakes.. Liverpool have sent a message to the rest of the Premier League, insisting that they are still title-challengers, and hoping it hasn’t come too late. A routine win would have provided points on the board but after their start to the season, they needed to send out a statement. After his own disappointing showing against United, Van Dijk headed home Andy Robertson’s corner just before the break as Liverpool went in five goals to the good. Travers stood no chance, with it a similar story when Firmino got his own name on the scoresheet moments later with a smart flick. But while Klopp hoped that he could welcome back some of his walking wounded before too much longer, the Reds were forced to again operate with one arm tied behind their backs as they took on Scott Parker’s outfit. His cheekiest of chipped through-balls took out the entire Bournemouth defence, only for Travers to tip Salah’s stinging volley over the bar. Storming to a record-breaking 9-0 victory over newly-promoted Bournemouth, delivering the sort of win Jurgen Klopp’s have often failed to land in contrast to title-rivals Man City, they silenced their doubters in the most emphatic of manners. Henry watching on at Anfield, this was the perfect showing for [Liverpool](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc). Rumours of Liverpool’s demise have been greatly exaggerated as the Reds kick-started their campaign at the fourth time of asking.

Liverpool claimed a 9-0 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League and national media outlets have handed out their verdicts.

“Liverpool breathed fire with two goals in the first two six minutes. Unless they add quality, his side will be Premier League fodder, although few teams would have been able to withstand how Liverpool greeted the first whistle like a starting pistol. But in terms of intensity, penetration and pure enjoyment of the ball Liverpool could not have delivered a finer show to banish doubt and signal their self-belief remains intact. Liverpool, meanwhile, had dropped points against Fulham, Crystal Palace and a Manchester United side supposedly in crisis, but by half-time the old order had been restored.” “In rediscovering their mojo, Liverpool registered their biggest top-flight win since beating Crystal Palace 9-0 in September, 1989. True, Bournemouth were abject and perfect fodder for a team needing a first win of the campaign. Scott Parker could retort that at least his team had won the game they had a chance of winning, by defeating Aston Villa on the opening day, and that the south coast club’s losses to Arsenal and Manchester City were entirely predictable. His was the sort of unselfish, intuitive, energetic performance any manager craves from a false nine. “At first glance, you might have assumed Bournemouth's manager was working out how long he had to inspire a comeback and, in normal circumstances, you would have been right. “With only 31 minutes on the clock and the unplayable Firmino having just scored Liverpool's fourth goal, Parker was asking himself two questions: how much more punishment Bournemouth were going to endure? The next match for [Liverpool](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc) sees them welcome Newcastle United to Anfield on Wednesday night. A brace apiece for Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz, combined with goals from Fabio Carvalho, Harvey Elliott, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and a Chris Mepham own goal secured the three points.

Liverpool equalled a Premier League record with a 9-0 victory over Bournemouth at Anfield.

We cannot give guarantees for results but I expect we give guarantees for performance levels. Neither last week nor today but it is not out of this world that we lose at United 2-1, especially when we don’t play at our highest level. Did we see it coming? He continued: “After the United game I said how difficult it is to answer questions. “So it’s better to ignore it completely and use it as a negative experience. “This game was a little bit more us, we should have won this game. “You have to turn a few other screws but that’s the job. “But it is very important. This specific game we really felt we came short. There was something to build on but it is difficult to get that from a thing like this. It will not happen often,” he admitted to reporters. It was needed.

In reaching the nine-goal winning margin, Liverpool matched the record set by Manchester United against Ipswich in 1995 and Southampton last year, and by Leicester against Southampton in 2019. And things went from bad to worse with a stunning 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in its third game, with its bitter rivals coming into to the game off the back of a terrible start to the season.

The Bournemouth manager described the heavy defeat as the most painful experience of his career and said the club needs to bring in new signings.

The touchline today was pretty painful and I could sense it was painful for the players as well. “This is the toughest day, as a player and certainly as a coach. I have been clear how this season could look for us and I stick by that. There are players who are experiencing the Premier League for the first time. “Then you look at Bournemouth and think: ‘OK, what will happen there?’ The league is a really tough one and it is clear when you have just won promotion, the problems start now.” “I feel sorry for the fans.
