London, August 27 (Xinhua) -- Liverpool, which has not made a good start to the Premier League this season, finally won a victory on the 27th, firing nine goals at home to send away the "promotion horse" Bournemouth. City bravely reversed after conceding two goals to repel Crystal Palace 4-2.

At Anfield on the same day, Liverpool, who had drawn 2 and lost 1 in the first 3 rounds, finally ushered in an outbreak, scoring 9 of 19 shots on goal, equaling the largest score record in the history of the Premier League. Previously, United had twice swept 9-0, and Leicester City had also beaten Southampton with the same score.
Just three minutes into the opening, Diaz received a header from Firmino in the middle of the penalty area. Three minutes later, youngster Elliott's left-footed arcing ball from just outside the penalty area broke through the net. Bournemouth was almost powerless against Liverpool's attack, having been punctured by Alexander-Arnold's World Wave, Firmino's goal-laying and Van Dijk's header before the end of the first half.

As soon as the second half began, the Bournemouth defender accidentally knocked Liverpool's cross into his own door, and Liverpool had no intention of slacking off, and then Firmino and Carvalho added to the scoreboard. Before the finale, Diaz took another header to seal a 9-0 victory for the home team, and coach Klopp bluntly said that the team played almost perfectly.

City drew 3-3 with Newcastle United after trailing by two goals in the last round and are now once again in the 2-0 deficit. However, thanks to Belva's goal and Haaland's "hat-trick", the defending champion eventually won all three points, and after 4 rounds, he was in second place with 3 wins and 1 draw.
Crystal Palace took the lead with a oolong ball from City defender Stones just four minutes into the opening of the day. In the 21st minute, Anderson took advantage of a corner kick to head the goal and turn the score into 2-0.
After another fight, City finally recovered a goal with a breakthrough from Bel Silva, and then manager Pep Guardiola replaced Alvarez and Gundogan to inject more firepower into City's attack. In the 62nd minute, Haaland received a pass from Foden and headed the score equaliser inside the penalty area. In the 70th minute, Stones' shot from inside the penalty area was deflected, but Haaland waited on the far post and easily pushed the empty goal. In the 81st minute, Haaland from Norway received Gundogan and scored a powerful goal under the two defenders of the opposing side to complete the 13th "hat-trick" of his career.
