The start of the Premier League season has been a little bit rocky for Liverpool, but they’re finally back on track! The Reds faced Bournemouth in their latest match and equaled the Premier League record for the highest goal tally in the modern era with a brutal 9-0 win. Luis Diaz put Liverpool on the right path, scoring the opening goal just three minutes into the game, followed by one more in the second half. Harvey Elliott, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Roberto Firmino, Virgil van Dijk, and Fábio Carvalho also contributed to Liverpool’s historic thrashing of Bournemouth. The Reds’ manager Jurgen Klopp was as impressed by their historic victory as the rest of us and said it feels “fantastic” when a match turns out this way. "Nine-nil is a strange result, it will not happen often. It just feels a very important result. It is not that we worked less in the last eight weeks, we were all in a really good mood, liked what we saw most of the time - but you don't get it in the stadium,” said Klopp. This is only the fourth match in the Premier League to lead to 9-0 results. Manchester United achieved this victory against Ipswich in 1995 and Southampton in 2021, while Leicester achieved this margin of victory against the Saints in 2019.
