Liverpool finally won their first win of the season. No half-hearted, Jurgen Klopp’s troops bulldozed Bournemouth at Anfield with a score of 9-0.

Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp did not discuss Salah’s appearance when speaking after the match. The manager focused on Liverpool’s first victory of the season after previously reaping two draws and one defeat.
“So, we have to prove it by picking up points. We have to get points for ourselves,” Klopp said on Liverpool’s official website.
“After a short pre-season and with mixed results, we had the spotlight at the start of the season and played a good game against Manchester City. But then we fell for some reason.”
“In the end, it was the perfect afternoon for us. We obtained a lot of goals by different players. It’s a fantastic situation and we knew we needed it.”

Meanwhile, today’s win was the biggest in Liverpool’s league history along with results against Palace in 1989 and Rotherham Town in 1896 (9-0 against Crystal Palace, 10-1 against Rotherham Town).
