Liverpool got their first win of the Premier League season under their belts in the second round of fixtures but Everton’s wait for a first point of the campaign goes on.
The Reds beat Bournemouth 3-1 on Saturday afternoon, coming from behind after the Cherries took the lead within just three minutes. The game saw Alexis Mac Allister controversially sent off with the Reds appealing the decision ahead of Sunday’s trip to Newcastle United.
