Liverpool boss Arne Slot was run through a gauntlet of emotions on Friday, as the Reds began their Premier League title defense with a 4-2 win over Bournemouth.

Antoine Semenyo, who was subjected to racist abuse during and after the game, dragged Bournemouth back into the game, pulling one back before equalising. But Chiesa, who replaced Florian Wirtz, put the Reds back in front two minutes from time with an important strike as fans spotted what he did during his celebration.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has backed Chelsea to compete for the Premier League title this season, insisting he felt the Blues were good enough to challenge last year as well.
