The carnage.
Liverpool equaled the record for most success in the Premier League for their first victory of the season on Saturday by atomizing promoted Bournemouth (9-0) at Anfield.
A double from Luis Diaz, another from Firminho, goals from Harvey Elliott, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Fabio Carvalho and a pawn against his side from Chris Mepham, this is the result of this butchery in an organized gang.
Thanks to this first success of the season, the Reds temporarily climb to 8th place with 5 points in 4 games.
Bournemouth, who came back from the Championship this summer where they were relegated in 2021, are coming off an absolutely abominable series of three games where they conceded a whopping 16 goals.
Four against City, three against Arsenal and therefore nine against the Reds.
All without planting one.
Southampton accustomed to historic beatings
This is the fourth match in the history of the English championship which ends with this score since the creation of the Premier League in 1992, including three times in the last three years.
Manchester United were the first to inflict such humiliation on Ipswich, in 1995, with a quintuple from Andy Cole.
The Red Devils did it again in February 2021 against Southampton, with eight different scorers, Frenchman Anthony Martial scoring twice.
Southampton have the sad honor of appearing twice on this list, having suffered a similar rout just 15 months earlier at home to Leicester, Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy having a field day with a hat-trick each .
The record for the most prolific match, however, remains the property of Portsmouth-Reading in September 2007 with 11 goals (7-4).
