Liverpool sealed their first Premier League win of the season with a comeback against Bournemouth.

Antoine Semenyo had put the visitors ahead inside three minutes after Trent Alexander-Arnold conceded possession from Virgil van Dijk’s pass out.

The Reds pulled level through Luis Diaz’s acrobatic finish when Diogo Jota picked out the Colombian with his back to goal in the Cherries’ penalty area.

Jurgen Klopp’s side took the lead just 10 minutes before the interval through Mohamed Salah converting the rebound after Neto saved his initial penalty.

But Alexis Mac Allister’s home debut ended acrimoniously as he received a straight red card for a foul on Ryan Christie early into the second half.

Jota soon restored the mood by pouncing in front of The Kop to a third for the hosts after Neto had spilled Dominik Szoboszlai’s effort from long-range.

Here were the key talking points from Anfield:

Klopp still has questions to answer

Don’t let the result fool you – Liverpool remain a significant work in progress.

Off the pitch as much as on it, Jurgen Klopp’s side are mired in transition as a half-built Anfield Road Stand that provided the backdrop to this game attests.

Bournemouth were given cause to dream of a first-ever win at Anfield as their hosts failed to heed early warning shots and fell behind inside three minutes.

Slowly but surely, the Reds gained a foothold into this encounter to overturn their early deficit but it was less comfortable than the score line suggests.

The Cherries kept threatening Alisson’s goal and were it not for Dominik Szoboszlai, the Brazilian would certainly have claimed the Man of the Match.

While Szoboszlai and substitute Wataru Endo flourished in their first Liverpool outings on home soil, question marks remain over existing key personnel.

Such as what is Trent Alexander-Arnold’s defined role in Klopp’s ‘reloaded’ team after a defensively error-strewn display that almost gave up two goals?

Or, equally pertinent, where does the Liverpool manager squeeze Cody Gakpo into his front six without disrupting the midfield and attacking line-up?

Those quandaries and many more will continue to abound over the coming months if Klopp’s regenerated squad fails to iron out its early-season glitches.

Salah finally gets up and running

Mohamed Salah cut a frustrated figure during last Sunday’s draw at Chelsea.

After being denied a chance to extend Liverpool’s lead by VAR, the Egyptian was visibly aggrieved at missing a sixth Premier League opening-day goal.

But patience proved a virtue for the Egyptian a second time around as he moved up a place in Anfield’s hall of fame by handing his side the lead.

Salah’s penalty after Szoboszlai had been taken down by Joe Rothwell was saved well by Neto yet Liverpool’s no.11 made no mistake on the follow-up.

In doing so, he eclipsed Steven Gerrard as the club’s fifth-highest goal scorer of all-time with a 187th strike that further cemented his place in their folklore.

The fact Salah achieved the feat in 404 games fewer than the homegrown hero underlines just how emphatic his array of personal feats continue to be.

Ian Rush’s 346-goal haul is likely to be a bridge too far in what remains of the 31-year-old’s time on Merseyside but other legends’ records are still at risk.

The 228 strikes amassed by Billy Liddell will be next in Salah’s sights while Gordon Hodgson’s place as the third-most prolific, with 241, is hardly safe.

For now, he has more than made up for that false start at Stamford Bridge.

Anfield’s debutant curse strikes again

Alexis Mac Allister will have been eyeing history on his Anfield bow.

Liverpool’s summer recruit, however, could not have envisaged that he would find himself hurtling towards the record books for very different reasons.

The World Cup winner received a straight red card for his challenge on Ryan Christie in the 58th minute which appeared a harsh decision to say the least.

Yet newly-promoted referee Thomas Brammall condemned Mac Allister to an infamous feat as the third Liverpool player to be sent off on their home debut.

Darwin Nunez was dismissed for headbutting Crystal Palace’s Joachim Andersen in last year’s curtain-raiser while Joe Cole also saw red in 2010.

Both sending-offs were warranted, with Nunez’s constituting violent conduct while Cole had taken out Arsenal’s Laurent Koscielny with a reckless lunge.

That Mac Allister was made to walk for a comparatively innocuous foul will leave a sour taste on an otherwise progressive afternoon for Anfield’s hosts.
