Liverpool’s Premier League title defense began with drama, goals, and a new hero at Anfield.

It was his first Premier League strike, and it could not have come at a better time.

The Reds had raced into a two-goal lead but were pegged back by Antoine Semenyo, who stunned the champions with a quick brace.

His finish gave Liverpool the edge before Mohamed Salah wrapped things up in stoppage time.

While the game itself was full of talking points, what Chiesa said afterwards may prove even more important for Liverpool fans.

Rumours of a summer move back to Serie A have followed him for weeks, but the forward’s comments suggested he may be staying put.

Speaking to Sky Italy after the match, Chiesa said:

“We’ll talk to Liverpool, but I’ll be honest, I’m happy here.

“As long as he’s here, he’s definitely at Liverpool – I have no reason to believe something is going to change,” the Dutchman said.

Slot praised Chiesa for his timing and impact, noting that his late goal showed the qualities the team will need in a long season.

It seems clear Chiesa is not ready to pack his bags yet.

And if his finish against Bournemouth is a sign of things to come, Liverpool fans may be seeing plenty more of him this year.
