A minute's applause is held before Liverpool's game for the nine-year-old girl, who was shot in her home.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of her murder, while a woman was detained on suspicion of assisting an offender. Ms Dale was the half-sister of 16-year-old Lewis Dunne, who was shot dead in a case of mistaken identity in Liverpool in 2015. The applause at Anfield was part of a series of tributes in the city, after four people were killed in the space of a week in Merseyside. He was with a group of friends in Lavrock Bank cul-de-sac when they were shot at by riders on two electric bikes, Merseyside Police said. Balloons were also released at Sefton Park in memory of Ashley Dale, who was gunned down in her garden on Sunday. Olivia was shot after a gunman chased a man - both of whom had no links to her family - into her home.

Luis Diaz and Roberto Firmino both scored twice at Anfield.

The visitors were hit by a fifth on the stroke of half-time. Firmino struck across the face of goal as Liverpool threatened to score again. The goal was rubberstamped after a VAR check and Liverpool doubled their advantage in the sixth minute. Firmino grabbed a second of the afternoon before leaving to a standing ovation. The Brazil forward set up that goal and celebrated one of his own soon after when turning in a deflected cross – his first league goal at Anfield since December 2020. Liverpool equalled the biggest win in Premier League history as Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz both grabbed braces in a 9-0 annihilation of promoted Bournemouth.

Here are my player ratings after Liverpool battered Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield! As you can imagine, they might be a little bit higher than last weekend.

He looked brave on the ball - Jurgen Klopp will most definitely be looking at him for the future. He came on for the entirety of the second half, replacing Harvey Elliott, and was absolutely brilliant. Milner was much better than last time, he came on as a substitute for Roberto Firmino with twenty minutes left to go, and almost bagged Liverpool's tenth after Salah played him through. He's got it all - proven by the fact he scored both of his goals with his head today. He came on for Robertson with around twenty minutes left and made an immediate impact. He teed up Roberto Firmino in the second half, who was unlucky not to score. He looked so comfortable all game and his notable contribution was a great recovery block against Kieffer Moore in the second half. He scored his first Premier League goal this afternoon, in style after Firmino let it fall to the young Englishman. Football is a team game, and despite not registering any goals or assists this afternoon - Liverpool's Egyptian still contributed to the action. Like many of his teammates, he looked back to his best. He was impactful at Old Trafford, and you would argue he is undroppable following his performance this afternoon. Very comfortable in goal and earned himself his first clean sheet of the season.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he didn't want to "humiliate" Bournemouth after Premier League record-equalling 9-0 victory on Saturday.

LIVERPOOL face a race against time to sign a midfielder before the transfer window shuts.

Having insisted the Reds didn't require any more additions, Klopp may well be forced into conducting one of the biggest deals of the summer in order to solve his current midfield crisis. Neves continues to be the commanding force in midfield for the West Midlands side, and with a wealth of Premier League experience under his belt, it is little wonder Klopp is an admirer. [Jurgen Klopp](/latest/jurgen-klopp) has admitted he was "wrong" in believing his side did not need to bolster in the centre of this park this summer with the Reds now facing a race against time to sign a midfielder before the window slam shuts.

Liverpool equaled the Premier League's record for the biggest victory on Saturday, beating Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield.

For today I wanted the start we showed and then the rest ... "You just have to give the game a proper direction and that's why I loved the start today so much. We should have won this game, so when I don't say that about all games against United ... Klopp continued: "But it's not out of this world that we lose at United 2-1, especially when we don't perform on our highest level, that can happen and it's very likely to happen. In reaching the nine-goal winning margin, Liverpool matched the record set by Manchester United against Ipswich in 1995 and Southampton last year, and by Leicester against Southampton in 2019. And things went from bad to worse with a stunning 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in its third game, with its bitter rivals coming into to the game off the back of a terrible start to the season.
