Reigning champions Liverpool defeated Bournemouth 4–2 in a thrilling match to kick-off the action of the 2025–26 Premier League season.
Liverpool dominated possession from the start but struggled to generate clear chances. Less than 15 minutes in, Marcos Senesi appeared to deny Liverpool of a clear goalscoring opportunity with a hand-ball, but both match referee Anthony Taylor and VAR didn’t deem the action worthy of a foul, let alone a red card.
