00:00I don't think so I don't think this was a penalty I think it's a coming together they should have had a goal though they had a couple of really big chances but as you see McAllister coming in here he's going to play the ball and I just think that both of them clashed that's not a penalty for me.
00:161-0 then to Liverpool as we head into the second half no changes for either side and we can rejoin our commentary team with Jamie Carragher and Peter Drury.
00:25Thank you Kelly there's the man before beginning a title defence for the first time since September 2020 when you'll remember I'm sure an extraordinary 4-3 win against Marcelo Bielsa's lead in which Mo Salah did score a couple of penalties as part of a hat-trick.
00:43It's the first time for 35 years therefore that they've begun a title defence that one having been in front of no one on a regular August 8 in front of fans.
00:5335 years ago it's a 3-1 win at Sheffield United Barnes-Helton Rush.
00:59Liverpool finished second by the end of that season they are seeking to defend the title since they for the first time since they won three in a row as the Bob Paisley era moved into Joe Fagan 82 83 84 under the captaincy of Graham Souness.
01:21It's difficult for any team coming to Anfield when you find yourself 1-0 down at half-time but I think there was enough in that first half of Bournemouth going in at half-time the message from the manager.
01:41They didn't get some joy.
01:43Hekutike is full of himself, Wirtz.
01:50Marion Wirtz, Trouffer got a toe on it and Liverpool have the first corner of the second half.
01:56Wirtz and Hekutike combined again.
01:59This is what's impressed me a lot, not just the two goals of this man, it's that lovely little touch there.
02:04He did something similar against Crystal Palace in the Community Shield on the halfway and the ball comes into a lovely little lay-off.
02:11He's very aware of what's going on around him. Touches like that just reminiscent of Liverpool a few years ago when they had Bobby Firmino at the top end of the pitch.
02:27Wirtz to hurl it in. Wirtz, Ekutike coming through the crowd. Spring-heeled.
02:34He's a big lad. He's ahead of first half, one last week as well against Crystal Palace.
02:39It's another...
02:41He doesn't look fantastic in the air, he's got a really powerful defenders, doesn't look...
02:47He's quite got the strength for that, yeah.
02:49Wirtz who made good, Tavernier.
03:01Wirtz puts it back.
03:03Wirtz!
03:05Wirtz!
03:06That's what it's like.
03:08Tim Pong, who largely speaking for Xavi Alonso, it's...
03:13Leverkusen, played last season as a right wing back.
03:17He's snapping in.
03:33Adam Adams has it back.
03:37Semenyo, Scott.
03:41Good win by Gakko.
03:43With a sweet little shimmy.
03:47Mekatike from wide.
03:56Gakko.
03:58Scored out by Senezi.
04:01Alexis McAllister.
04:04Kierkez.
04:07Mekatike.
04:09And Cody Gakko!
04:11Now it's it!
04:13And the Cops swallows up its first goal of a new Liverpool campaign.
04:28Well, he's a goal scorer, Gakko.
04:33And we talk about players' strengths, his goals.
04:37And again, Mekatike, look, he's involved in the build-up.
04:42He's not just gonna stand on the box.
04:44He's gonna create chances.
04:46He's gonna create chances for his teammates.
04:49And as I said, he'll get you an abundance of goals.
04:55Luis Diaz has gone.
04:57Maybe not as much competition on that left side now for Gakko.
05:00But he passes that in.
05:02Doesn't look up, see the goalkeeper or the goal.
05:05Full-shit finish into that far corner.
05:11I mentioned it's difficult for any team coming to Anfield.
05:14Especially when you find yourself 1-0 down at half-time.
05:17It's doubly difficult.
05:19And there, as Ugo Eketike did in the first half,
05:25signal of the number 20.
05:28Everything Liverpool achieve, everything they do,
05:31will be seen through the prism of the late Diogo Jota.
05:35I haven't seen a lot of Eketike before when he comes to Liverpool.
05:43Snapshots last season.
05:47He's playing Brown and Jack Frankfurt,
05:49but no one are his slot wanted from his strikers last season.
05:54He wasn't just the stand at the top end of the pitch.
05:58A lot of the times it was to drop into that inside left position,
06:02so Bozleiman playing that inside right position,
06:05and that single Eketike is giving us Liverpool team right now.
06:08Smashing ball from Sobislein, in by Salah Petrovic,
06:11got a knuckle on it, importantly.
06:21Gakko is in a back walk with Scott,
06:25and Marvel's about to give way.
06:27And this is Liverpool's free kick.
06:37Vitz on the turn, Eketike.
06:39That's come off Tyler Adams.
06:43That's our second score throw.
06:47Finkham.
06:49So does Lai, Vitz.
06:51McAllister.
06:56It's a fair try, it's a very good save.
07:01Liverpool have had his real quality in the summer.
07:06Had his real quality two summers ago on this man.
07:12As soon as he was back fully fit,
07:14and then he's started to put him straight back in the team for the first game.
07:16Remember that goal he scored against Spurs on title-winning day.
07:25Which apparently made the earth shake.
07:281.74.
07:33Magnitude.
07:35Seismic professors at Liverpool University.
07:38Liverpool University.
07:39And there's a little bit of rumbling going on here too.
07:41And there's a little bit of rumbling going on here too.
07:42Sлюдo.
07:43S Allez.
07:49Sлюдo.
08:10Holding and pushing around the corner is one of the headline issues around refereeing this season.
08:17That's been checked and cleared.
08:24Gats flings it in.
08:26It came out to Frimpong.
08:40Look at him! Look at him! Look at him!
08:45Look at him!
08:47Gat Poe.
08:49Kise got a cross.
08:50Other side had a switch.
09:10And Van Dijk.
09:17Oh, they've come past Brooks.
09:20He's got this guy with him smartly.
09:23It'll be interesting going forward this season.
09:25They're all...
09:26I suppose like...
09:29I always call him for extra creativity in that number ten position.
09:32Liverpool have certainly got that with Florian Vert.
09:35But...
09:36He's seen the three that he won on the team.
09:39His energy.
09:40Pace.
09:48Smartly done by Brooks and in by Tavernier.
09:51Flashed across the face and neither Evan Nilsson and Orsameño could get a touch.
10:00Both full-backs.
10:01With an attacking prowess for Liverpool with both of the times being too far too tight.
10:08The attackers they've been coming up against and being rolled.
10:11You'll tell us, Jamie, what difference it makes for the...
10:16I mentioned he was largely, not always, but largely a right wing-back last year.
10:20Three centre-halves at Leverkusen.
10:22Tapsoba, Tarr and hincapié.
10:27As I think you were mentioning pre-match, there's talk of him being a Salah replacement when AFCON is in progress.
10:33We'll see whether that transpires.
10:36Brooks.
10:39New Florida.
10:42Beaten to it.
10:43And McCallistock.
10:44He only catches up and fouls.
10:46And he gets this tackle right back here because he didn't get right in the first half of McCallistock.
11:00That's a huge difference in this Liverpool team with Alistair.
11:12What about Ricard?
11:14Don't say it!
11:15Don't say it.
11:16It's all right Quan.
11:19Don't say you.
11:21GapO.
11:23That border is post- Hieroph vert.
11:28It would be GapO...
11:30Smooth.
11:32Taints on a face of innocence.
11:33innocence
11:43content with what he has now and that is since the second goal a degree of
11:47comfort and the Liverpools players are beginning
11:50to look as though they're enjoying each other's company
11:54and that is Salah Dijertz Salah
11:59Adam's won it and then gave it back to Dijertz
12:06and they'll throw the gap open wide again
12:10fiddled in for Dijertz
12:13and it's back
12:17so TK
12:20turn pass wasn't firm enough
12:23Salah Dijertz hasn't given up on it though
12:27Cavaniere was compromised and eventually Anthony Taylor decided he was fouled
12:33I just mentioned to Boz like before and Juana's athleticism in the team I
12:38believe he's going to play central midfield a lot more for Liverpool as I
12:40think will happen as we're seeing in he's running all over the place and it's
12:44great he's getting cheese on the ground but he's just got to care for the bad
12:47time empty in central midfield
12:52as I think with the attacking
12:54it's having the start of Liverpool having the front four and also the full-backs
12:57they're quite important
12:59Liverpool have had two central midfielders a lot of the time you actually just sit in position
13:06protect the two centre-backs
13:07they're there for second balls
13:11on that topic Jamie I can see that uh
13:14notaru endo
13:17is preparing to come on and perhaps unsurprisingly
13:20Andy Robertson as well
13:24in place of Kerkis
13:29it's frankly important to Andy Robertson staying at the club this season
13:32he will still get plenty of games
13:36to help Kerkis
13:37it's just too heavy for Salah
13:43it's just desperate for that big chance as we know so often he scores on the opening day
14:01almost always nobody has scored more frequently than Mo Salah on the opening day of the Premier
14:07League season he has nine
14:14let's have it here
14:19too fair and again
14:25let's have it here
14:26that's an 80
14:32Tavernier
14:35David Brooks can hang it up Alisson got something on it Semenya running for more
14:41and behind the goal kick
14:50and Alisson goes gonna block this one
14:51keep going
14:58maybe a little bit of joy for them that joy
15:00may disappear now a little bit more defensive with the changes now on a slot
15:08this is interesting
15:09but she wouldn't necessarily say is natural we'll see how that plays out
15:27maybe suppose that goes to the right back
15:28the second change is entirely natural one
15:35pure left full-back for another
15:36and the right student will not readily yield his place
15:45as first pick
15:46and it's actually the end though he's going to right back
15:48in the pre-season games I think so Bozleif ran himself up right back
15:53on a couple of occasions
15:55a little bit more
16:00and
16:02a little bit more
16:04and
16:05a little bit more
16:06and
16:08a little bit more
16:12but
16:13you
16:18from Sanese. Van Dijk ahead of Evan Nielsen.
16:30Sanese now for Tavenir, who's stepped away from Sobbertslein.
16:35Scott.
16:39Semenyo has run for the corner.
16:45Alexis McAllister appears to dispute.
16:48ame.
16:56Brooks is down cross for take a goal,
16:58Patron had a shot in the second half which is within a quarter of an hour old.
17:06So Kite joining in.
17:09Brooks playing it in, Colonte with a powerful header out.
17:12.
17:19.
17:20.
17:22.
17:27.
17:29.
17:30.
17:31.
17:32.
17:33.
17:34.
17:35.
17:36.
17:37.
17:38Yeah, Bournemouth can't get themselves back into this game, they will ruin that chance.
17:43Semenyo in that first half.
17:46If you want to come to Anfield and get something, you've got to score that.
17:54Steer from Soboslai, Salah.
18:00Soboslai fits!
18:02And he's rolled it just the wrong side.
18:05Really good again from Soboslai.
18:07Pressing, winning the ball.
18:09Then he's got a decision to make.
18:11As he played into Salah, Oveit, what a problem that is to have.
18:20He puts it down on the side of the post.
18:22Just looks like a class act.
18:25Oveit, by the time the ball comes into him.
18:28Soboslai won it, McAllister's on his way.
18:31Salah's getting up ahead of steam.
18:32It's Mo Salah.
18:33It's Mo Salah.
18:34Tyler Adams again.
18:35A key sniffing out of danger.
18:36Endo Salah.
18:37Soboslai.
18:38Adams came up with it.
18:39Brooks is on his way.
18:40Evan Nielsen through the middle.
18:41Semenyo waiting.
18:42Brooks plays it in.
18:43And Semenyo scores for Coldman!
18:44Who had backed their interest?
18:47There was always a chance Bournemouth could get back into this game.
19:04now there's always a chance boom we could get back into this game because i think this
19:12Liverpool team give you a chance it starts with Sabozlai trying to be clever losing the ball
19:18and he's just on side brooks played on side by Van Dijk but what a pass that is
19:29and the pace of Semenyo on the far side with Andy Robertson
19:32he was never going to get back but this goal is all about that cross the weight the precision is
19:38absolutely fantastic and it's just a case of can he beat the goalkeeper and he can
19:44well Antoine Semenyo gave Bournemouth a shot lead on this round two years ago this weekend
19:53Liverpool went on to win that game 3-1
19:56Liverpool had scored 14 Premier League goals against Bournemouth since last conceding that
20:03one and it's Semenyo again who is on target for the cherries at Anfield and now there's
20:09Jeopardy back in the game
20:10so it's like Salah
20:17it's come off Senezi it's a Liverpool corner
20:21to a point they have it to do again
20:25well these early stages of watching Liverpool
20:29Crystal Palace last week form it here tonight
20:32in these type of games are what we're going to get
20:35there's just so many attacking players on the pitch for Liverpool
20:38they are going to be susceptible to conceding goals
20:42they're being called out and spaces appearing
20:45they're starting to get real joy against Bournemouth
20:50they're going to go out and get the third goal
20:52they just got carried away
20:53as I said with that flick from Sir Bosley
20:56but the quality of the finish
20:58Bournemouth was fantastic
21:01it's with McAllister
21:04Florian Vietz
21:08straight out to Alexis McAllister
21:11now by Gakpo
21:14Soboslay, Ekotike
21:17it's very pretty
21:19Liverpool still have the ball
21:21Vietz
21:21Gakpo
21:23Salah
21:24Vietz
21:26that's the waiting hands of Georgie Petrovic
21:29it's record on this down is horrendous in the Premier League
21:47they visited eight times before
21:49lost seven
21:50drawn one
21:51prior to tonight
21:53the aggregate score was 26-4
21:55and then a couple of cup ties
22:01and those are the numbers you reach
22:04Brooks
22:08Tavernier
22:10against Canate
22:13and behind for a corner
22:15for Canate discomfort
22:23and for Bournemouth
22:26just a sniff
22:26that there might be something in this for them
22:28a long way to go as well
22:35plenty of time
22:36looked a lot in the time
22:39for that near post flick
22:40that they had some joy with in the first half
22:42a lot of bodies in there
22:44Scott's corner with Whip
22:47he gets rid in a hurry
23:02he'd seen Salah
23:03what a pass that is
23:04Mo Salah
23:08couldn't find the space he needed
23:12to make it count
23:13sometimes we've seen that before
23:16he's been just onside
23:20Alisson to Salah
23:22as I said we have seen that before
23:23the finish is normally better than that
23:26it's amazing
23:33that's a good call too
23:34Tavernier
23:35it's away by Van Dijk
23:37from in front of Evan Nielsen
23:39where's Canate
23:45that's his job
23:46he's got to be over
23:47positional pace
23:48really poor
23:50right to the rescue
23:52I mean you can't deny Bournemouth
23:55have deserved a goal
23:56two really big chances
23:59in the first half also
24:00it's not again
24:10Scott again
24:10Canate from right in front of Alisson
24:13touch from Salah
24:16touch from Wierz
24:17Alisson's tumbling
24:21it's the Dominic soccer slide
24:43Cody Gatpo
25:01really a threat
25:03Tavernier
25:09will be there
25:11before Brooks
25:12two more Liverpool changes are imminent
25:32there's Scott
25:34clear into space
25:40Semenyo
25:41Smith
25:43too big for Evan Nielsen
25:46Adams
25:47Traffair
25:49David Brooks
25:52Traffair's got a yard here
25:55Semenyo's up
25:57so is Van Dijk
25:58here's Tavernier
25:59Brooks
26:02cut out by Sobber's light
26:05Senezi
26:08Bournemouth have their foot down here
26:09Brooks
26:12Tavernier
26:14David Brooks
26:16against Van Dijk
26:17and still it's not clear
26:20Tavernier
26:20Traffair
26:22Senezi
26:26Edmund Nielsen
26:28puts it up and beyond
26:30put on real pressure
26:32I feel like the goal's coming
26:33I mean Canati's positional play
26:35is all over the place
26:36I mean
26:37he's no idea where the ball
26:40with attack and play it is
26:41the one initially before that
26:43he wasn't in the right position
26:44he got a whack at the ball
26:46earlier
26:46I don't know if that's affected him
26:47but positional wise
26:49he's all over the place
26:50well that has been a debut
26:58the duty will savor
26:59relish
27:00and remember
27:01for the rest of his days
27:03and the record CK
27:04has broken his Premier League top
27:06he's got the Champions
27:09defence rolling
27:10and now it gives way
27:11for the last 20 minutes
27:12significantly to Joe Gomez
27:15who's had so much
27:16bad luck
27:17in recent months
27:18and who is warmly welcome back
27:20and Alexis McAllister
27:22whose fitness we knew
27:24was questionable
27:25coming into this
27:26for that reason
27:27presumably
27:28is required to give way
27:30to Curtis Jones
27:31it's Joe Gomez
27:36going to right back
27:37Endo into midfield
27:38and the set-up
27:39that we saw a lot
27:40from Liverpool last season
27:41almost playing without a striker
27:42Merton supports light
27:45that tells you those you need to know
28:04they were very comfortable
28:06got that second goal
28:07thought we were going to go on
28:08and get the third
28:09but
28:09that's the beauty of the Premier League
28:12the game has just been turned on its head
28:15and that's the manual goal
28:17tapped by Tavernier for
28:26Bournemouth who are minded
28:28to make a change of their own here
28:29Traore the Ivorian midfield player
28:33is full of energy and purpose
28:37shortly to be on
28:40Curtis Jones is on to it
28:46Cody Gatpo's on to it
28:48couldn't fiddle it out further wide
28:51for Robertson
28:52just made the wrong decision there
28:59I think Eddie Robertson
29:00made an overlapping run
29:01just before that
29:02he didn't use him
29:02when the full-back
29:04makes the second one
29:05you almost feel
29:06you've got to give it to him
29:07or you're going to get
29:07an earful
29:08so changing midfield for Bournemouth
29:17Alex Scott has put in a
29:19more than good shift
29:21with a little bit more
29:22than a quarter of an hour to play
29:23it is Hammer Traore
29:25who is being sent on
29:28to replace him
29:29it is quite a young Bournemouth bench
29:35in truth
29:37they don't have an abundance
29:39of senior options
29:40given that
29:47whatever the outcome
29:48you would think
29:50Antonio Aralo
29:51would be very happy
29:52with the way
29:52his hugely
29:55and recently
29:56disrupted team
29:58have gone to work
30:00here this evening
30:01do you guys
30:21come on
30:23don't
30:29don't
30:29don't
30:29Liverpool after this, of course, that's Monday night's trip to Newcastle,
30:50which in the context of the Alexander Issa saga could be an interesting one.
30:56And then Arsenal are here in the last game before the international break.
31:03So it's a stiff fixture list in the early weeks for the defending champions.
31:26It's like Gomez, Salah, away from Truffaire.
31:33This is a slivered, Traore out, Semenyo could look forward.
31:37He has Tamimera alongside, Evan Nilsson peening away, Semenyo through the middle.
31:42Semenyo through the middle.
31:44Antoine Semenyo, two each!
31:52That is a thrilling drive!
31:55And the cherries are having quite a night.
32:07Well, from one end of the pitch to the other, and this Liverpool team is far too open.
32:12We've seen it in pre-season.
32:14There's absolutely no midfield cover at all.
32:17And then, boom, they're right at the two centre-backs.
32:24Look at the amount of bodies going forward for Liverpool here.
32:27And they lose the ball, one, two, three, four.
32:29There's about seven or eight players ahead of the ball.
32:32And then he's run at those centre-backs, they're not quite sure what to do.
32:37Again, what is Canate doing?
32:39Oh, my God, he's been absolutely shocking tonight, Canate.
32:43But Semenyo should have scored the first half.
32:49But he's now got two in the second half.
32:54And they're back in the game.
32:55And they may fancy the chances to go on and win the game.
33:00Wow, what up next for him.
33:02Antonio Araola, so intelligent, so poised, so realistic.
33:10When he spoke to you before the game, Jamie,
33:12he was in no sense being defeatist.
33:14But his tone was that of a man who expected...
33:17Of course, he did a major examination here.
33:20He's had his issues this week with players leaving the club
33:23and the struggles to recruit.
33:26But he has made do and mended magnificently.
33:29Well, Ais not to be furious with that counter-attack there.
33:35He made changes, so that didn't happen.
33:41You'd expect that to happen with the team that started the game,
33:43but certainly not the team that's on the pitch right now.
33:49They had felt very uneasy watching Liverpool in pre-season,
33:52and last week and at times today.
33:54The balance of the team isn't right.
34:01Actually, the knock here on Wietz, maybe a little bit of a dead leg.
34:0412 minutes to dig back out the win,
34:13that a little while ago seemed, if not certain, very probable.
34:18It's obvious like Wietz, Virgil van Dijk.
34:23He well stood his ground.
34:34Whatever else it is, it is a compelling launch to the Premier League season.
34:38And this goes long.
34:39He has no problem with the hand coming into this game,
34:40some of the best players leaving.
34:41Absolutely fantastic.
34:42The next goes long.
35:02The best players leaving, absolutely fantastic.
35:12Petrovic is headed in, go far, this, and Somerslai looks it high and wide.
35:25Well, they'll have to go for it now, Liverpool.
35:28There will be chance of a Bournemouth again on the counter-attack,
35:31he will have to throw bodies forward now.
35:37Just couldn't wrap his foot round it there, Somerslai.
35:42Ando.
35:52Cat Poe, Jones.
35:54It's a wary of Florian Beards.
36:01He's currently on with the throw.
36:04Jones.
36:07Somerslai.
36:09Salah.
36:11Somerslai, beaten away by Petrovic.
36:13Can't worry, Evan Ilsen looking to escape, Tavernier doing just that.
36:26That is a hold back by Evan Ilsen, who is being summoned by Anthony Taylor.
36:33Frustrating for Liverpool supporters who wanted them to get on with it.
36:37But the foremost number nine sees yellow.
36:41Yeah, it is a yellow, but Liverpool wanted the free kick to be able to take it quickly.
36:45End of the evening for Florian Beards.
36:54The team flashes.
36:55We understand the balance and poise and beauty he brings to the game.
37:04Federico Chiesa came to Anfield last summer with an intent to offer much the same.
37:11First season, he was feeding on scraps.
37:14I think it's a strange substitution, that.
37:17Very strange.
37:21Somerslai.
37:22Salah.
37:24Somerslai.
37:26Isonese back in by Robertson.
37:29Clear by Truffert.
37:33Endo.
37:34Jonathan Jones.
37:42Taken on by Salah.
37:44And again by Somerslai.
37:47They'll have to dig in here, Bournemouth.
37:48Now that the crew will put real pressure on.
37:51Checking that Kop in.
37:55Trying to shift that ball in for them.
38:04Come on!
38:05Watch this!
38:06One!
38:07It's a win for the keep take.
38:09Yeah.
38:24A bit of wins the flow from Vamour Kite.
38:27Scott!
38:30Lif!
38:32What?!
38:33that was up against robertson so that won't be a corner and he was offside
38:41not a decision he was able to digest
38:53this is 20 year old ben winterburn who's on for the last seven minutes in place of number seven
39:01david brooks
39:02interburn got good game time in pre-season started two games in the fa cup last season
39:15and played 22 minutes in the premier league spread over four games
39:19there's a sub and he's got to get another big seven minutes plus now
39:31don't have any hurry
39:39the keys has come on now he's just playing as a striker really
39:50it's going off she would flash us tonight
39:56kieta saw us like smashed away with that complication by tavernier that's where we're at
40:06impossible that paul but do go on to win this but even if they don't
40:19this would surely be considered a golden bonus point for them
40:24liverpool have never ever lost a premier league game at anfield which they have led by two goals

41:10this is the first of six live premier league games from sky sport this opening weekend the rest as follows
41:21tomorrow wolves manchester city is for a saturday night football
41:24from now on we show all two o'clock kickoffs for the sunday so pick between
41:29chelsea palace and forest brentford and then stay with it for manchester united arsenal
41:34later on sunday afternoon monday night football showcases the return of leeds they kick off against
41:40everton and gary and jamie of course will be right across all the big issues of the opening weekend
41:46and this as it stands will be one of them
41:55more than spirited
41:58spirited display by uh andonia riola and bournemouth
42:01who have previously taken just one premier league point
42:05on this ground
42:06come on this
42:26I mean, whether Liverpool go on to win this game
42:44won't change the fact that it's not quite right
42:47what you've seen in pre-season, what you've seen here tonight
42:53Liverpool have a very strong defensively
42:56especially in the first half of last season
42:57that's gone
43:00and uh
43:03after him by Robertson
43:06Van Dijk's won his header
43:08it's come down to Cody Gatpole
43:10out by Truffaut
43:12and then by Evan Nielsen
43:14and Alisson's joining in
43:19and Liverpool are in a tearing rush
43:26Sovoslai left it behind for Salah
43:30and Salah can damn it in
43:32and Petrovic intervene
43:34and it can't appear
43:35who saves the opening day for Liverpool
43:47an explosion of red relief
43:56but I said it was a strange substitution
44:00and that's why I'm a pundit and Alex not to manage it
44:04he may have just won his team a vital three points
44:09here he is
44:11touchy is fantastic from Sabo's line
44:15the goalkeeper doesn't see it till late
44:20and he missed it to Chiesa
44:22and that's what helps it go in
44:24and it feels like that's what happens
44:30maybe he's unsighted the goalkeeper
44:32he's fallen away
44:34and actually it's a lovely finish
44:38I thought he'd miss City
44:40but it's a lovely finish into that far corner
44:42and he knows he's a few minutes away
44:45from huge relief
44:48and just listen to that song
44:51he's more famous from his song
44:53than his football so far
44:54but that may now be about to change
44:57with the second touch
45:00of his second season
45:02as a Liverpool player
45:03Federico Chiesa
45:05a year later that he dreamt in
45:07has just scored his first Premier League goal
45:09but here's Semenho
45:11and Adams
45:12away by Canate
45:15and Bournemouth have a corner
45:17with 30 seconds of 90 minutes to play
45:20and Bournemouth have two changes to make
45:31as Junior Kruppi
45:34is one to come on
45:36James Hill is the other Kruppi
45:39instead of forward Hill
45:41generally stays up
45:45in defence or in holding the field
45:47there's certainly a panic
45:52in this Liverpool
45:53penalty area right now
45:55and substitutions are getting made
45:56he just scored a goal
45:57there it's frantic
45:58and we know you've only got
46:00a few minutes to hang on
46:01messages
46:03getting slouched on
46:05from the bench
46:07the players down here
46:08they probably don't understand it
46:09just got to take responsibility
46:11in these situations
46:12six minutes to add on
46:23Tabernier's Bournemouth corner
46:26Senezi was attacking it
46:28Kruppi
46:32and he's got another one
46:33important header from Canate
46:36to the post
46:42at corner
46:42we know Bournemouth have been trying to
46:44join that near post area
46:46to load it back in
47:01and he's like to meet it
47:04she aims to potentially the hero of the night
47:07that's until the three-point
47:09there is the mood that prevailed in May
47:28and they danced up and down
47:30and watched
47:31the big silver trophy glitter in the sunshine
47:35and he's got the best song
47:48out of all the players
47:50it used to be Bobby Firmino
47:51now it's Chiesa
47:53he's hardly kicked the ball really
47:55or done too much
47:56in a Liverpool shade
47:57but
47:58the supporters love him
48:00goal of the FA Cup
48:01against Attricks and Stanley
48:02a goal that meant nothing
48:04in the League Cup final
48:05against Newcastle
48:06and now one that means plenty
48:08in the Premier League
48:10Gomez
48:12saw the slide

49:22Locked up towards Traore, met by Gomez, forward again from Winterburn.
49:26High for them though, Salah's the chaser here and he's winning, James Hill has a problem.
49:37It's Mo Salah!
49:51Seals it on a gripping opening night!
49:56CHOIR SINGS
50:01Nobody starts the season quite like he does.
50:05And he overtly and emotionally recalls the man who scored the opening goal of last season for Liverpool, Diogo Jota.
50:16Salah had to have his moment and Liverpool, in his memory, have the points.
50:25Man, he does brilliantly here, Salah, he just doesn't give up. Look at the ground he covers.
50:34And he's desperate for that goal, he knows how many times he's scored on the opening day, I'm thinking he has to pass.
50:40But when you've got that quality of that man, that's why more often than not, he goals himself.
50:47Maybe a little bit of a rarity to go with the right foot, but...
50:52That has won Liverpool now, the three points, they can almost relax now for the last couple of minutes.
50:57Ten opening day goals for Mo Salah, ten opening day goals, and he has as many in the Premier League as Andy Cole now.
51:05Salah up to 187, and he's chasing down Rooney.
51:18Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah!
51:29Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah! Salah
51:59526 then bring it on it was compelling and the champions are up and away it wasn't always
52:09comfortable even before Eketike got his debut goal Bournemouth have had their moments but that
52:16goal came Gatko doubled the lead Liverpool seemed to be cruising Semenyo and Bournemouth had other
52:23ideas to each in the blink of an eye but Liverpool had the dynamism the will the togetherness
52:34to drive forward and win a game all over again Federico Chieso tardily with a moment perhaps
52:44that will launch him properly as a Liverpool player and then Salah at the end sympathy all
52:49round for Antoine Semenyo who had to deal with the unsavoury issue of the night when he suffered
52:56alleged abuse racist abuse from elsewhere but let us deal with the football match Jamie and
53:04whichever seat you're sitting in neutral or partisan it was a belter to launch us what a start to the
53:10Premier League absolutely fantastic game end to end Liverpool will score a lot of goals this season if
53:16you continue in that vein but people can see it a lot as well and and in some ways Liverpool may go on
53:22this season to be the most entertaining team certainly in the Premier League that is not something
53:26a tag I certainly want for Liverpool because I think Liverpool perform like that I think it'd be very
53:32difficult to retain their Premier League crown for me they're far too open and they're far too
53:39susceptible to the counter-attack and there's definitely something that still needs fixing
53:43in this team they've got a little bit carried away they were fortunate with Chiesa coming on great piece
53:48of skill and that man Mo Salah but I think there will be people at home watching up and down the
53:54country other managers other players of top teams and thinking yeah maybe Liverpool can get after
53:59a little bit more than we did last season so I still think this Liverpool and team and slot are a
54:05work in progress with all these new signings what a great effort from Bournemouth no question about
54:10that but Kelly an evening that began with beautiful tributes to Diogo Jota ends perhaps with the best
54:18possible tribute a Liverpool win and a thrilling one by four goals to two Peter and Jamie as we were both
54:27saying the slot machine may not be well oiled at the moment but they take all three points with
