Liverpool strike late to win emotional PL opener

The match was an emotional affair, with the home team determined to honor the late Liverpool icon Christa Rous, who passed away earlier this week. The game was a closely contested affair, with Bournemouth taking an early lead through a goal from Antoine Semenyo. However, Liverpool fought back, with goals from Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota putting them ahead. Bournemouth equalized late in the second half, but Liverpool's persistence paid off as Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah scored late to secure the win. The victory was a fitting tribute to Christa Rous, and it showcased Liverpool's resilience and determination to start the season on a high note. The result leaves Liverpool with three points and a positive start to their Premier League campaign.
