Having signed in the summer of 2023, Federico Chiesa finally scored his first Premier League goal in the 87th minute to give his side a crucial win, before Mohamed Salah capped off the win with a delightful strike of his own.

Alisson – 5

Good distribution but was not positioned well enough to deal with David Brooks’ cross that picked out Semenyo for Bournemouth’s second.

Jeremie Frimpong (off for Wataru Endo 60?) – 7

Bright start.

Jeremie Frimpong’s Premier League debut lasted for an hour and whilst he failed to contribute a goal or an assist, as he had done in the Community Shield, the Dutchman’s work rate was a sight to behold, especially when compared to his rather lackadaisical predecessor.

Ibrahima Konate – 3

Off the boil.

Exceptionally composed finish for the Reds’ second of the night.

Hugo Ekitike (off for Gomez 72?) – 9 – Player of the Match

Hugo Ekitike rejected Newcastle to join Liverpool and the Frenchman has made a flying start to life as the Reds’ main man up top.

Followed up his debut goal in the Community Shield with a debut Premier League strike and an assist for Gakpo.

Liverpool may think twice before spending £150million on Alexander Isak after the 22-year-old’s performance.

Substitutes

Wataru Endo (on for Frimpong 60?) – 4

Caught out high up the pitch for Semenyo’s second and lacked the pace to recover, Conor Bradley’s return cannot come soon enough.

Andy Robertson (on for Kerkez 60?) – 5

Usurped as Liverpool’s starting left-back this year by Kerkez, did little to prove he was deserving of his position back.

Curtis Jones (on for Mac Allister 72?) – 6

Busied himself in the middle of the park but lacked a cutting edge with his distribution.

Joe Gomez (on for Ekitike 72?) – 5

Through no fault of his own, Gomez’s introduction completely ruined Liverpool’s balance as the Reds lost control of the game.

Federico Chiesa (on for Wirtz 82?) – 8

Jamie Carragher called the Italian’s introduction a “strange substitution”, the Italian made the former defender eat his words by scoring a beautiful winner in the 87th minute.
