Liverpool kick-started their campaign in ruthless fashion by thrashing newly promoted Bournemouth at Anfield to equal the biggest victory in Premier League history.
Manager Jurgen Klopp had described the beginning to his side's campaign a "false start" after two draws and Monday night's defeat at Manchester United, but the Reds responded in stunning fashion.
Manchester United have achieved that margin of victory twice, against Ipswich in 1995 and Southampton last year, and Leicester City did likewise against the Saints.
Liverpool got off to the perfect start with two goals in the opening five minutes against the Cherries to set a raucous Anfield rocking.
