Liverpool kicked off their Premier League title defence in dramatic fashion as two late goals earned a 4-2 win over Bournemouth at Anfield.
Arne Slot's side looked like they would have to settle for a point after surrendering a two-goal lead earned by Hugo Ekitike and Cody Gakpo.
However, Federico Chiesa's late strike took the roof off Anfield before Mohamed Salah capped things off in injury time.
Reds reporter David Lynch was in attendance to see the champions start a new season with a thrilling victory, and believes they deserve praise for battling through.
Ekitike and the effective matchwinner Chiesa are singled out for their contributions as a result.
However, there were also some concerning signs that had already been witnessed in pre-season and which Slot will need to iron out.
