Liverpool matched their biggest ever Premier League thrashing at Anfield by nine goals to nil against AFC Bournemouth to claim the first three points in the competition in stunning fashion. Jurgen Klopp's side also handed another record to the German manager, who with these nine goals scored took his tally to 800 with the Reds.

Luis Diaz and Harvey Elliot opened the scoring after three and six minutes respectively, then Trent Alexander-Arnold scored the third just before the half-hour mark with a long-range effort into the top corner, before Firmino scored the fourth goal after a deflected cross.
