And Harvey Elliott scored his first Premier League goal just a couple of minutes later with a fantastic left-footed effort from outside the box. Six minutes have gone and Liverpool were already looking like they’ve got the first win of the season.It was one of those days when everything feels right, so Trent Alexander-Arnold hit another magnificent goal, right-tooted from way out of the box. It was already shaping into a terrible day for the Cherries goalkeeper Mark Travers.Roberto Firmino has already made three assists when he poked in the fourth goal, ensuring his status as man of the match with barely 30 minutes on the clock.It was five just before the break when Virgil Van Dijk headed in from an Andy Robertson corner. Scott Parker was standing in his technical area wishing he stayed at home.As if letting the opponents score so many goals wasn’t bad enough, the Cherries’ defender Chris Mepham put one in his own net shortly after the restart. The half-time break was truly over and the visitors faced the prospect of getting into double digits.In the end, it was nine as the fans from the Kop chanted, asking for ten. It was one of those days when Bournemouth’s only success was holding Liverpool to a single-digit win.
