Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola made a triumphant return to Bournemouth, securing a narrow victory at Vitality Stadium on his way out of the international break. Alexander Isak's fourth Premier League goal of the season proved decisive, netting the winning kick in the 57th minute and helping Bournemouth avoid a disappointing campaign opener.
Cody Gakpo's determined run ended with a ball into the box that Bournemouth struggled to control, leading to Isak's close-range finish. The Sweden forward was mobbed by Liverpool's traveling fans upon his return and received a booking from referee Michael Oliver. Iraola, who guided Bournemouth to European qualification before joining Liverpool in the summer, received a warm welcome from the Cherries supporters.
Liverpool's victory took them to sixth place with nine points from five games, while Bournemouth dropped to 17th with three points after failing to secure a win in the Premier League.
