Mohamed Salah probably made his most indifferent appearance in a Premier League debut, but even so he managed to score, shaping the final 4-2 against Bournemouth.

Who would have expected that a looming walk for Liverpool would turn into a thriller after two "hits" by Antoine  Semenyo  within just eight minutes... And who would have imagined that the one who would ultimately provide the solution for the Reds would be the most... disreputable of the roster! With the Italian Federico Chiesa redeeming them in the 88th minute (he entered as a substitute), Liverpool subdued the unruly Bournemouth with the final 4-2 in the final for an ideal premiere in the Premier League.

But before football took the lead for a spectacular 90 minutes, the heart of “Anfield” was broken by the loss of Diogo Jota. In a climate of suffocating emotion, the Liverpool crowd honored the Portuguese star in the first game without him by their side, with an impressive Korean with his name and the “20” on the shirt proudly dominating the “Kop”.

Liverpool began the defense of their title with a victory. Of course, this came very difficult against Iraola’s excellent Bournemouth. The Reds, despite leading 2-0 in the 49th minute, found themselves facing the specter of chaos, as the visitors came back and tied at 2-2, with repeated goals from Semenyo (64′, 76′).

The solution for the champions was provided by the forgotten Federico Chiesa in the 88th minute, making it 3-2, with Salah putting the icing on the cake in the 90+ 4th minute. In fact, Salah celebrated his goal in exactly the same way as the late Diogo Jota.
