“He loses it” – Paul Merson points finger at Liverpool star for Bournemouth goal despite Reds’ 3-1 win
Football pundit Paul Merson believes Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold was at fault for his team conceding the opening goal in the match against Bournemouth. Jurgen Klopp's men found themselves a goal down within three minutes of kick-off in their 3-1 victory over the Cherries.
Philip Billing pounced on a poor touch from the England international, who was attempting to receive a pass in midfield. It was Antoine Semenyo who benefited eventually, scoring during the run of play.
Addressing the goal, Merson said (via Rousing The Kop):
Despite Bournemouth's fast start, it was the Merseyside outfit who ended up on the right side of the result. First-half goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah provided Liverpool the lead.
Alexis Mac Allister was sent off in the second half. However, the red card didn't prove much of an issue as Klopp's side added a third goal without reply after the break.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp reportedly hit out at the Anfield crowd for singing his song during the club's 3-1 victory over Bournemouth. With 15 minutes left on the clock, the German tactician gestured to the fans, requesting them to refrain from singing his chant.
Klopp has previously expressed his feelings to fans over the same issue. Speaking after last season's 4-3 victory over Tottenham, the Reds' boss had said (via talkSPORT):
The former Borussia Dortmund manager seemingly has an issue with fans singing the song during an ongoing game. The Merseyside outfit have now registered their first victory of the new Premier League season.
