Liverpool have splashed the cash this summer and they will hope to see better Anfield debuts than a previous big-money arrival.

The Reds, who won the Premier League title last season, host Bournemouth in the top flight's curtain-raiser.

Arne Slot has spent over £250million throughout the transfer window, breaking the British record in the process.

Mac Allister joined Liverpool from Brighton in 2023 for an initial fee of around £35m, which was able to rise to £55m.

His Anfield debut coincidentally came against Bournemouth too, but it didn't go as the big-money signings would have wanted.

Just before the hour mark, the Argentinian midfielder caught Ryan Christie with a high tackle as he competed for a 50/50 ball.

The referee then brandished a straight red card, much to Mac Allister and his new teammates' disbelief.

It cut his first home appearance short and he was set to miss Liverpool's next three games early in the season.

However, the red card was eventually overturned and he was able to feature in the following matches.

Before that decision was made, Mac Allister frustratingly looked back on the way his debut ended on social media.

But Liverpool went on to win the game against Bournemouth 3-1, so that helped to soften the blow.

He wrote on Instagram: "Yesterday I was able to make my dream come true by playing at Anfield as a Liverpool player.

"We saw harsher challenges which were not red cards.”
