Liverpool equals the biggest Premier League win record in Liverpool vs Bournemouth match

At the Etihad, City scored the second goal of the match. The palace received a corner in the 21st minute. Palace center-back Joachim Andersson extended the gap with a header from Iberechi Eze’s cross. However, the corner from which the goal was scored is controversial. Palace was awarded the corner after City defender Cancelo elbowed him. There should have been a free-kick for City, not a Palace corner. After 2010, City has never conceded two goals in such a short period of time in any Premier League match at home. However, until then, City had 80 percent possession of the ball in the match, and after 2-0, Pep Guardiola’s team had 75 percent possession of the ball until the break!

It was City who turned around brilliantly and sent the ball into Palace’s net four times after the break. After Bernardo Silva reduced the deficit in the 53rd minute, Erling Haaland scored three consecutive goals in the 62nd, 70th, and 81st minutes to get his first hat-trick in the Premier League.
Liverpool’s tie with Bournemouth was, however, predictable. The Championship side this season have conceded 9 goals in the first three games (Villa 2-0, City 4-0, Arsenal 3-0), not scoring a single one. But today Liverpool played with them. This season, the Premier League has never seen such a one-sided match.

Bournemouth conceded an own goal after the break. However, the help of VAR had to be taken to confirm that goal. Firmino scored his second goal of the Liverpool vs Bournemouth match and the team’s seventh goal in the 63rd minute of the match. But on this day, Liverpool did not want to stop. Substitute Fabio Carvalho made it 8-0 in the 81st minute, Luis Diaz scored his second goal in the 85th minute to make it 9-0.
