79' Bournemouth deserved that.

The Cherries have been piling on the pressure and Liverpool just haven't been able to deal with it.

Antoine Semenyo deserves his goals too, after having to stop the game to report an alleged racist comment from the crowd.

He's brought his side level in a dramatic opening game.

"They look so exposed."
