Late Gvardiol strike earns Maresca winning start, Liverpool snatch last-gasp draw
The 2023-2024 Premier League season kicked off with an unpredictable series of results as new managers took charge of their respective clubs. Manchester City, under Josko Gvardiol, secured a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth in their season opener, thanks to a late winner in stoppage time. Meanwhile, Liverpool's Andoni Iraola needed a last-minute intervention as well, with Dominik Szoboszlai scoring a dramatic penalty to salvage a 2-2 draw against Newcastle United.
The unpredictable start to the season also saw Aston Villa suffer a 4-0 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion, conceding all three goals before halftime.
