History made on Premier League opening day

Early morning of August 16, Liverpool and Mohamed Salah personally created many statistics for the first time appearing in the highest tournament in the foggy country.

The 2025/26 Premier League opened with an emotional match with 6 goals scored at Anfield, 4 of which belonged to Liverpool.

Even before the ball rolled, Liverpool created historical statistics, becoming the first defending champion in 32 years to name 4 new players in the starting lineup in the opening match of the highest tournament in the foggy country (Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike).

Ekitike impressed with 1 goal and 1 assist, thereby becoming the second player in Liverpool history to do this on his Premier League debut, after Darwin Nunez.

Meanwhile, Fererico Chiesa also made history as the player who scored the latest winning goal on the opening day of the Premier League for Liverpool (87 minutes, 46 seconds).

Salah was not to be outdone by his teammates. The "Egyptian King" scored the winning goal for the "Reds" in a 4-2 victory, becoming the player with the most goals on the opening day of the football tournament known as the most exciting on the planet (10 goals).

Van Dijk was also the unsung hero in the reigning champions' victory. According to Opta, the 34-year-old centre-back made 17 clearances against Bournemouth, including 13 headers. This is the best achievement of the former Southampton player's career in the Premier League.
