Liverpool earned their first Premier League victory of the season when they came from behind to beat Bournemouth on Saturday.

An early goal by Antoine Semenyo was equalised by Luis Diaz before Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota also found the target as the Reds earned a 3-1 win despite the dismissal of Alexis Mac Allister shortly before the hour.

The result means Jurgen Klopp’s men have extended their unbeaten league run to 13 games, the longest such ongoing sequence in the top flight.

But there was plenty that went unnoticed or under the radar during the 90 minutes at Anfield.

Cranky Klopp

With a controversial red card, a defence that was all over the place early on and individuals who struggled in the first half, it wasn’t the easiest day in the dugout for Klopp. And his demand for full concentration on the task in hand even extended to the home support.

Liverpool had edged ahead 3-1 and were entering the final 15 minutes when the Kop broke into a rendition of his song – despite the Reds boss having previously implored supporters to wait until the end of a game to sing it.

It prompted a visibly agitated Klopp to motion towards the stand and shout “Can you stop singing that s***? Can you stop it?”. Needless to say, the message was quickly understood.

Van Dijk unimpressed

It was an increasingly regular instance that absolutely infuriated Liverpool last season. And there’s no sign of it going away any time soon.

During a difficult opening for the Reds, there was a clear Bournemouth offside ignored by the officials that prompted the home defence to race back and ultimately scramble the ball clear.

Cue the assistant referee then raising his flag, with Virgil van Dijk responding by flailing his arms and angrily remonstrating. You tell ’em, Virg.

Writing on the wall

The Anfield Road stand isn’t the only way in which the stadium has changed over the summer. Deep within the bowels of the Main Stand is the mixed zone, where the media attempt to persuade players to speak to them after the match.

Emblazoned on the wall past which they must walk is a huge sign saying ‘Liverpool Football Club. You’ll Never Walk Alone’ made up of pictures of the Liverpool squad in action.

And already Fabinho and Jordan Henderson have been replaced by the likes of Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Bobby Clark. Given the decorators don’t stand on ceremony, Wataru Endo should probably expect himself to be up there for the Aston Villa game in a fortnight.

Macca drinks it in

The afternoon certainly didn’t end well for Mac Allister, controversially sent off after a challenge with Bournemouth midfielder Ryan Christie.

Before kick-off, though, the Argentine was determined to make the most of his home debut following a £35million move from Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer.

And he could be spotted taking a moment to admire the Kop as they went through their pre-match traditions. Hopefully it won’t be too long before the World Cup winner is back in situ again.
