Liverpool equalled the biggest win in English Premier League history after a 9-0 hammering of promoted Bournemouth on Saturday. Jurgen Klopp바카라s side started the campaign slowly, with surprise draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace compounded by Monday바카라s loss at rival Manchester United. (More Football News)
But Liverpool바카라s fearsome attack looked back to its best at Anfield as the team recorded its first league win and Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz both grabbed two goals.
It바카라s only the fifth time a team scored nine goals in the Premier League, with Manchester United (twice) and Leicester the only previous teams to win 9-0. Liverpool also won 9-0 over Crystal Palace in 1989, before the top-flight changed its name.
바카라We scored some wonderful goals from all areas and didn바카라t stop,바카라 Klopp said. 바카라It was 5-0 at halftime. How often does it happen that a team take their foot off the gas? We just wanted to have a 100% satisfying experience we can use going from here.바카라
Firmino, starting in place of suspended summer signing Darwin Nunez, produced a stunning first-half display, which began with Diaz heading home his clipped cross within three minutes of the kickoff.
Firmino then provided the assist for Harvey Elliott바카라s first league goal 바카라 a fizzing strike from distance that would have been goal of the day were it not for the Trent Alexander-Arnold stunner that followed.
The Brazil forward set up that goal and celebrated one of his own soon after when turning in a deflected cross -- his first league goal at Anfield since December 2020.
Virgil van Dijk powered home Liverpool바카라s fifth on the stroke of halftime, while the onslaught continued just after the break in the form of Chris Mepham바카라s own-goal. Firmino grabbed a second of the afternoon before leaving to a standing ovation.
The goals did not stop there, though, as Fabio Carvalho scored his first for the club and Diaz grabbed his second.
