Liverpool Tie EPL Record For Biggest Win By Battering Bournemouth

Liverpool equaled the Premier League record for the biggest margin of victory by beating Bournemouth 9-0. Three teams now share the EPL record for biggest win.

Liverpool claimed their first win of the season in emphatic style by equaling the Premier League record for the biggest margin of victory.

A 9-0 battering of Bournemouth at Anfield saw Liverpool match the record previously set by Leicester and Manchester United.

Roberto Firmino was Liverpool's star man against Bournemouth.

The Brazilian frontman assisted Liverpool's first three goals - for Luis Diaz, Harvey Elliott and Trent Alexander-Arnold - before scoring no.4 and no.7 himself.

Diaz also scored Liverpool's record-equaling ninth goal, after strikes from Virgil van Dijk, Fabio Carvalho and a Chris Mepham own goal.

Speaking after Saturday's record-equaling win, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told BBC Sport: "Nine-nil is a strange result, it will not happen often.

"It just feels a very important result. It is not that we worked less in the last eight weeks, we were all in a really good mood, liked what we saw most of the time - but you don't get it in the stadium.

"You have to turn a few other screws, and that is our job. When it turns out like today it is fantastic."

Bournemouth boss Scott Parker said that the result had highlighted the current gulf in class between his side and the top teams in the Premier League.

Parker told Sky Sports: "The bottom line is we were in an arena with massive quality and, at this moment in time, we're probably not equipped to handle it. I'm disappointed with the result, I'm disappointed for the fans who have traveled here, and I'm disappointed for the players that this is where we are the moment in time.

"The players, everyone, need a little bit of help. Today just proved too big a challenge, the levels - a clinical team and the intensity of the stadium - were far too big. It was a real humbling experience.

"I'm pretty shellshocked, the players are pretty shellshocked. It's my job to lift this group now, we need to dust this aside because there could be psychological elements after this defeat."
