Liverpool claim comeback win over Bournemouth despite Mac Aller red card | Football News

Ten-man Liverpool came from behind to beat Bournemouth 3-1 as goals from Luis Diaz, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota helped them recover from Antoine Semenyo’s early opener in their Premier League clash at Anfield on Saturday.
The Reds, who drew 1-1 at Chelsea in their opener, were shocked Bournemouth in the third minute when Trent Alexander-Arnold lost possession in a dangerous area before Semenyo fired the south-coast club in front.
Following the dismal start, Liverpool grew into the contest and Diaz got the breakthrough with an acrobatic volley in the 28th minute. Salah then hammered home a follow-up shot after his spot-kick was saved to make it 2-1 in the 36th.

Liverpool kept up the pressure in the second half and scored their third goal through Jota, despite having gone down to 10 men just before the hour mark when Alexis Mac Aller was shown a straight red card for a high tackle on Joe Rothwell.
Brighton go top after Mitoma and March tear Wolves apart in 4-1 win
Brighton & Hove Albion went top of the Premier League table with a clinical 4-1 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, after scoring three goals in a devastating nine-minute spell in the second half.
Brighton, who also beat Luton Town 4-1 in their league opener, have six points and a healthy goal difference at the top, while winless Wolves are bottom under new manager Gary O’Neil, who took charge two days before the season kicked off.
Kaoru Mitoma opened the scoring for Brighton in the 15th minute when he went on a mazy run before putting on a sudden burst of speed to race past the last line of defence and curl the ball past the onrushing keeper Jose Sa.
The Japanese winger turned provider in the first minute of the second half when he pounced on a parried save from Sa, drawing the defence towards him before cutting the ball back for the unmarked Pervis Estupinan to fire home.
Solly March then scored twice in four minutes, with Julio Enciso assing him on both occasions as they easily got in behind Wolves’ high defensive line and exploited the acres of space at their disposal to make it 4-0 before the hour mark.
Wolves finally got on the board when Hwang Hee-Chan scored with a header from a corner, but their day only got worse when Matheus Nunes was sent off for a second yellow card after taking his frustration out pushing Brighton players to the ground.

The lively Wissa put the Bees ahead in the 44th minute of their West London der with a right-footed shot into a gaping goal after Issa Diop was caught napping while attempting a pass back to goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

Mbeumo made it 2-0 from the spot in the 66th, slotting clinically home with Leno barely moving, after captain Ream was ruled to have felled Wissa and collected a red card for his second yellow.
Mbeumo then scored the third with a simple tap-in, assed Kroffer Ajer, two minutes into time added as the unhappy home fans headed for the exits.
