Liverpool

Spectators applaud during ninth minute of match as Jürgen Klopp asks, 'How can this happen?' after nine-year-old shot.

How can this happen? There is only one side to be on in this situation and that is the side of Olivia and her family. That it could happen in a city as special as this one where people look out for one another and stand together makes even less sense.

Liverpool claimed their biggest ever Premier League win as Roberto Firmino and Luis Díaz both scored twice in a 9-0 rout of Bournemouth.

Díaz ended the exhibition as he had opened it, scoring with a header from the substitute Tsimikas’s corner. It was never tested here, although he was able to exhibit his attacking process with a stunning third goal when breaking through Bournemouth’s midfield and following Anfield’s instruction to shoot after a one-two with Firmino. Jordan Henderson wore a vest that read: “RIP Olivia YNWA” and dedicated victory to the murdered child. The Brazil international produced three assists and a goal in the opening 31 minutes and, to be blunt, extracted the Michael out of Scott Parker’s outclassed team. The Egypt international’s cross struck Firmino and Elliott swept a superb left-foot finish into the bottom corner from 20 yards. Harvey’s proud father eventually got the jacket back and Liverpool, after a midweek dressing down from Jürgen Klopp, got their season back on track in record fashion too.

A minute's applause is held before Liverpool's game for the nine-year-old girl, who was shot in her home.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of her murder, while a woman was detained on suspicion of assisting an offender. Ms Dale was the half-sister of 16-year-old Lewis Dunne, who was shot dead in a case of mistaken identity in Liverpool in 2015. The applause at Anfield was part of a series of tributes in the city, after four people were killed in the space of a week in Merseyside. He was with a group of friends in Lavrock Bank cul-de-sac when they were shot at by riders on two electric bikes, Merseyside Police said. Balloons were also released at Sefton Park in memory of Ashley Dale, who was gunned down in her garden on Sunday. Olivia was shot after a gunman chased a man - both of whom had no links to her family - into her home.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he didn't want to "humiliate" Bournemouth after Premier League record-equalling 9-0 victory on Saturday.

"At least we don't have to answer the question anymore [about not winning]. We'll watch Newcastle tomorrow and see what we can do against them." The game settled and we kept scoring. We won't get carried away. That's what we have to do now. "We scored wonderful goals.

WHAT HAPPENED? Liverpool scored five unanswered first-half goals to set a club record as they blitzed past Bournemouth. The Reds scored two in the first ...

The Reds will look to keep the momentum going in a mid-week clash against Newcastle. The Reds scored two in the first five minutes before Trent Alexander-Arnold smashed in a strike from 25-yards to make it three. Firmino then scored, before van Dijk made it five before the interval.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed relief after his team registered their first win of the season with a 9-0 thumping of Bournemouth on Sunday.

The Reds ran out 9-0 winners against Bournemouth, with six different players getting on the score sheet, including first goals for Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho. A humiliating defeat at the hands of Manchester United capped of an underwhelming opening to the season but that has been quickly forgotten with this record-breaking result. After not winning any of their opening three games of the season, Liverpool had a point to prove, and wow did they prove it.

Liverpool host Newcastle and Bournemouth entertain Wolves in the Premier League on Wednesday. Monday’s defeat at Manchester United confirmed Liverpool’s worst start to a Premier League season in a decade but the rampant Reds swiftly put the record straight, matching United’s 9-0 victory over Ipswich in 1995 to kick-start their campaign. Scott Parker, while in charge of Fulham, was the last visiting manager to win at Anfield in the Premier League but there was to be no repeat as Liverpool raced out of the traps to banish their Old Trafford nightmare.

LIVERPOOL have seen their hopes of landing Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves dashed.

[Newcastle](/latest/newcastle-united-fc) on Sunday - a match in which Neves struck a long-range screamer - Lage put to bed speculation surrounding his star midfielder's future by insisting he is “99 per cent” confident of hanging on to his skipper, who was unsettled at the start of the summer. Lage had previously issued a hands-off warning over the 30-time Portugal international by slapping a £100million price tag on his head. If you ask me at the end of last season I would have said to you, ‘I will leave’ but I’m still here, so we never know what’s going to happen.” Neves has since emerged as a potential target, however, Liverpool's hopes of striking a late deal for the 25-year-old appear to have been short-lived. Lage said: “I’m 99 per cent certain he will stay for one more year. Neves has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield in recent days after Reds boss [Jurgen Klopp](/latest/jurgen-klopp) declared his side will now look to add a midfielder to their ranks before Thursday's deadline.

Liverpool equaled the Premier League's record for the biggest victory on Saturday, beating Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield.

For today I wanted the start we showed and then the rest ... "You just have to give the game a proper direction and that's why I loved the start today so much. We should have won this game, so when I don't say that about all games against United ... Klopp continued: "But it's not out of this world that we lose at United 2-1, especially when we don't perform on our highest level, that can happen and it's very likely to happen. In reaching the nine-goal winning margin, Liverpool matched the record set by Manchester United against Ipswich in 1995 and Southampton last year, and by Leicester against Southampton in 2019. And things went from bad to worse with a stunning 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in its third game, with its bitter rivals coming into to the game off the back of a terrible start to the season.

Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves has said he misses Champions League football amid rumours linking him with a transfer to Liverpool.
