Defending champion Liverpool has launched the Premier League with a dramatic 4-2 win over Bournemouth in an emotionally charged match at Anfield.

Liverpool players and fans paid an emotional tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother, André Silva, on Friday at the first competitive match at Anfield since their death last month.

The highly anticipated new Premier League season kicked off at Anfield on Friday, with some supporters still wiping away tears from their eyes on a bright, sunny day. Those same supporters likely wiped very different tears away once the final whistle sounded following a six-goal affair that saw the home club walk away with a 4-2 victory.
