The ugly incident of a fan racially abusing Antoine Semenyo during Liverpool's 4-2 victory over Bournemouth has resulted in an arrest. In the 30th minute of play, Semenyo reported racist abuse from the stands and the match was stopped by referee Anthony Taylor before being resumed while an anti-discrimination message was delivered to the crowd.

Former Liverpool centre-back Jamie Carragher was highly critical of their defending in the match, saying their lack of organisation for Antoine Semenyo's second goal was "absolutely shocking"

In Liverpool's first Premier League match since Diogo Jota's tragic death, late goals from Federico Chiesa and Mohamed Salah sealed victory in an opening match to remember.
