The highly anticipated new Premier League season kicked off at Anfield on Friday, with some supporters still wiping away tears from their eyes on a bright, sunny day. Those same supporters likely wiped very different tears away once the final whistle sounded following a six-goal affair that saw the home club walk away with a 4-2 victory.

Defending champion Liverpool has launched the Premier League with a dramatic 4-2 win over Bournemouth in an emotionally charged match at Anfield.

Anfield is a special place, and the emotions were overflowing on Friday as Liverpool played its first Premier League match since the car accident that claimed the lives of Reds forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva.
