Overview

• Mohamed Salah scored the final goal in Liverpool’s season opener to extend his record as the Premier League’s most prolific Matchweek 1 scorer.
• The strike was his 105th Premier League goal at Anfield, a tally only Sergio Aguero and Thierry Henry have exceeded at a single venue.
• Liverpool supporters sang Diogo Jota’s name at full time, prompting an emotional reaction from Salah on the pitch.
• A spectator is alleged to have subjected Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo to racist abuse during the match.
• Media reports remain inconsistent on Salah’s contract status, with some outlets citing a 2025 expiry despite April reports of an extension through 2027.
