Liverpool football fans pay tribute to Olivia Pratt-Korbel (The Guardian)

Spectators applaud during ninth minute of match as Jürgen Klopp asks, 'How can this happen?' after nine-year-old shot.

How can this happen? There is only one side to be on in this situation and that is the side of Olivia and her family. That it could happen in a city as special as this one where people look out for one another and stand together makes even less sense.

Sterling doubled his tally in the 63rd minute as he tapped in from Reece James’ cross before Barnes squeezed in a low shot three minutes later. City equalised in the 62nd minute when Phil Foden’s cross reached Haaland and the former Borussia Dortmund striker headed his first home goal since joining in the close season. Virgil van Dijk headed in Andrew Robertson’s corner on the stroke of half-time as Liverpool scored five in the first half of a Premier League game for the first time.

Chris Mepham’s own goal from Alexander-Arnold’s 46th minute cross was followed by Firmino grabbing the seventh in the 62nd minute. After three games without a win, the Reds rebounded by equalling Manchester United’s 9-0 wins against Ipswich in 1995 and Southampton in 2021, as well as Leicester’s thrashing of Southampton in 2019. Trent Alexander-Arnold rifled into the top corner from 25 yards in the 28th minute. On a remarkable day in the top flight, leaders Arsenal maintained their perfect start with a dramatic 2-1 win against Fulham.

Liverpool equaled the Premier League's record for the biggest victory on Saturday, beating Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield.

For today I wanted the start we showed and then the rest ... "You just have to give the game a proper direction and that's why I loved the start today so much. We should have won this game, so when I don't say that about all games against United ... Klopp continued: "But it's not out of this world that we lose at United 2-1, especially when we don't perform on our highest level, that can happen and it's very likely to happen. In reaching the nine-goal winning margin, Liverpool matched the record set by Manchester United against Ipswich in 1995 and Southampton last year, and by Leicester against Southampton in 2019.

Scott Parker and Bournemouth 'shell-shocked' after losing 9-0 to ... (The Guardian)

The Bournemouth manager described the heavy defeat as the most painful experience of his career and said the club needs to bring in new signings.

The touchline today was pretty painful and I could sense it was painful for the players as well. “This is the toughest day, as a player and certainly as a coach. I have been clear how this season could look for us and I stick by that. There are players who are experiencing the Premier League for the first time. “Then you look at Bournemouth and think: ‘OK, what will happen there?’ The league is a really tough one and it is clear when you have just won promotion, the problems start now.” “I feel sorry for the fans.

Defending champions Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace 4-2, as new recruit Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick. "We kept going, scoring different goals but with the same purpose to keep up the pressure. They are struggling for air." In finding the net, the Brazilian became the first Liverpool player to be involved in four goals — three assists and a goal — in the Premier League. But despite some late scares, Bournemouth did just enough to avoid suffering that ignominy. After Diaz headed in the ninth, Liverpool had five minutes to become the first side to score 10 goals in a Premier League match.

Liverpool FC's 9-0 Rout Met With Blindness And Hypocrisy (Forbes)

Liverpool FC's 9-0 demolition of AFC Bournemouth, it turns out, was the right type of rout.

Even an extended stay in the league wouldn’t remedy the situation. The response to Sanderson’s tweet was overwhelming and depressing. As ever, Wright was articulate in describing the “humiliation” of such a defeat. Absolutely.” Tweeted ex-pro turned pundit Lianne Sanderson, "in the women’s game for some it equals poor goalkeeping and ‘Women’s football is rubbish’ oh the double standard. Both games could arguably have resulted in higher scores given the majority of goals were scored before half-time. The levels were far too big. Amongst the arguments for these dramatic restructures of the game was the suggestion the Men rushed to explain she was wrong and this was actually 9-0 in a game at the “highest standards” and therefore commendable. How ironic.“ The players need help. The blindness to the hypocrisy of the reaction was highlighted by commentators from parts of the game criticized for one-sided results. After all, this was a Liverpool team that just one week earlier was being described as “injury-hit” and “tired.” The margin of victory for a team shorn of several first-team players and many of its excellent back-ups was worrying.

DOMINIC KING AT ANFIELD: The post-match chatter carried a familiar refrain. No Liverpool game takes place without the midfield being discussed and so it ...

You see the amount of games we play, we rotate a lot in midfield, apart from Fabinho. ‘You need that maturity,’ said Van Dijk, who gave the impression that he has been stung by some of the criticism that has come his way. Liverpool’s injury situation is not going to change too dramatically before Wednesday’s visit of Newcastle, so Klopp would be delighted if he had another experienced option. ‘The amount of games we play, we need a lot of midfielders,’ said Van Dijk. They will have moments, good moments, but they will have moments they have to learn from. ‘Especially when things are not going well like in the last two weeks, these guys have the right mentality that we need.
