Liverpool kicked off their 2025-26 Premier League title defense with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Bournemouth in a thrilling encounter at Anfield on Friday night, attended by a capacity crowd with the honoring of the late Diogo Jota.

The end of the match saw a historic moment, as Mohamed Salah received a perfect pass, penetrated the Bournemouth defense and found himself alone with goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic before firing a powerful shot into the left corner of the goal, scoring the Reds’ fourth goal deep into second half stoppage time.

With this goal, Salah takes his tally to 187 English Premier League goals, equaling the legendary Andy Cole’s record for fourth place in the Premier League’s all-time goalscoring charts.
