Liverpool Talisman Mo Salah and fellow attacker Federico Chiesa set late goals when the Premier League champions started the defense of their title by beating Bournemouth 4-2 in a thriller on the opening evening of the season in Anfield on Friday.
On a bittersweet evening accused of emotion after the death of July of Liverpool -attacker Diogo Jota, newcomer Hugo Ekitike took a goal in his debut to put the hosts forward after 37 minutes and Cody Gakpo doubled the leadership in the 49th.
But Antoine Semenyo, who was the target of racist abuse in the first half that led to a break in the game, withdrew one for the visitors in the 64th minute and completed a double 12 minutes later to rock Liverpool and shock the home fans.
However, replacement Chiesa sent Liverpool’s believers happy with an 88th minute strike after goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic struck a ball into the box through Salah, who scored himself deep in the extra time to complete the three points.
