The Premier League Returns with Excitement!
The Premier League is back with all its intensity. Liverpool began their journey as defending champions at home, facing Bournemouth in an encounter full of emotions that culminated in a 4-2 victory for the Reds.
In a special night at Anfield, where the lives of Diogo Jota and André Silva were celebrated, and a renewed Liverpool for the 2025-26 season was welcomed, the match seemed to be completely in favor of the home side for the first 50 minutes. The newcomer Hugo Ekitike scored a goal and assisted Cody Gakpo, establishing a 2-0 lead.
However, the changes made and the rapid counterattacks from Bournemouth, led by Andoni Iraola, changed the course of the match. Antoine Semenyo scored two goals in just 12 minutes, equalizing the score and generating an atmosphere of tension at Anfield.
But, as often happens in Liverpool’s home matches, the drama came at the end. Substitute Federico Chiesa scored a volley near the area, putting the Reds 3-2 up in the 88th minute, before Mohamed Salah added a fourth goal in stoppage time, thus sealing the victorious return of Arne Slot and his team in their quest to defend the league title.
This is how the action unfolded in the first match of the new season.
