Premier League opening match highlights: It's not easy to distinguish between strengths and weaknesses; Ekiti and Chiesa both score their first goals in the Premier League.

In the early hours of August 16, Beijing time, the new season of the Premier League kicked off, with defending champions Liverpool facing Bournemouth at home. Fans initially believed that after Liverpool's £300 million investment in new signings this summer, combined with the departure of three key defenders and the main goalkeeper from Bournemouth, and given that Liverpool was playing at home, this would be a match clearly in favor of Liverpool. However, Liverpool narrowly secured a last-minute victory over the Cherries.

In the Premier League opening match, Liverpool defeated Bournemouth 4-2, with highlights as follows:

• First: The Premier League opening match was a thrilling six-goal battle, providing fans with an exhilarating experience.
• Second: There are no weak teams in the Premier League; despite Bournemouth losing three key defenders to major clubs, they almost managed to draw against the reigning champions Liverpool away from home. How can one not love the Premier League?
• Third: Liverpool's four forwards all attacked,Ekiti, Gakpo, Chiesa, and Salahscored simultaneously, showcasing a diversified attack that the coach Slot must have been eager to see.
• Fourth: It's a joy to see new signing Ekiti and last season's "underperformer" Chiesa both score their first Premier League goals in the same match. In this game, Ekiti contributed both goals and assists, while Chiesa finally netted his first Premier League goal in his second season at Liverpool, marking a long-awaited joy. Hopefully, this will open the floodgates for Chiesa, boosting his confidence and form.
• Fifth: Liverpool's four new signings all started; aside from Ekiti's contribution, attacking midfielder Wirtz and wing-backs Flinpon and Kolkz did not participate in any goals or show good performance. The integration of new signings takes time, and the Premier League is challenging for Bundesliga players. Kolkz will have to adapt to a different role moving from Bournemouth to Liverpool.

In this match, the highest-rated player by the media was Semeno from Bournemouth, who scored twice and received a score of 8.8. For Liverpool, the two highest-rated players were both veterans, Gakpo with 8.7 and Salah with 8.3, both surpassing Ekiti's score of 8.0. The Premier League is the most lucrative and popular league, as well as the most entertaining, but it is also the most challenging. Good luck to the new signings in the Premier League!
