Liverpool player ratings vs Bournemouth: Dominik Szoboszlai continues to shine despite Alexis Mac Allister’s moment of madness

The Reds were reduced to 10 men after just 57 minutes but claimed three precious points thanks in no small part to their new Hungarian midfielder

Liverpool picked up their first win of the season on Saturday afternoon, beating Bournemouth 3-1 at Anfield despite seeing Alexis Mac Allister sent off just before the hour mark.

The Reds started the game horrifically and were deservedly punished for their sloppiness – which was personified by Trent Alexander-Arnold – when Antoine Semeny drilled the ball past Alisson after the hosts had lost the ball in their own half.

Liverpool drew level thanks to a moment of magic from Luis Diaz before taking the lead when Mohamed Salah made amends for missing a penalty by converting the rebound.

Mac Allister then saw a straight red for clattering into Ryan Christie – much to the shock of the summer signing, who clearly felt that the foul was more deserving of a yellow – but Liverpool responded admirably to being reduced to 10 men, with Diogo Jota sealing a vital victory with a tap-in.
