TItel’s defenders Liverpool FC achieved a close victory in their first game of the season in the English Premier League. Against promoted Leeds United with unfortunate German international Robin Koch, coach Jürgen Klopp’s team won 4: 3 (3: 2). Standout Mohamed Salah led the Reds to the lead in the fourth minute with a handheld penalty from Koch – and scored two more goals (33 / free kick and 88). Virgil van Dijk (20th) also scored for Liverpool.
The guest team of Argentine star coach Marcelo Bielsa was consistently combative in the game and tied three times with hits from Jack Harrison (12th), Patrick Bamford (30th) and Mateusz Klich (66th), also much to the chagrin of coach Klopp. . that was heard aloud on the sidelines. The ‘whites’ had risen directly to promotion to the Premier League after 16 years of underclass.
“What I found great was playing soccer against such a dedicated and completely different defending opponent,” Klopp said after the game. The first day of the game “was not easy” for his team, so he was happy with the victory. I wanted to take another look at the goals received. But he “really liked” the general direction Liverpool showed in the match.
In the afternoon, Arsenal FC beat newly promoted Fulham FC 3-0 (1-0) without 2014 World Champion Mesut Özil at the start of the English Premier League. Arsenal went ahead from the beginning with a goal from Alexandre Lacazette (minute 9) that took advantage of the errors of the local defense. Brazilian newcomer Gabriel, recently signed by Arsenal from Lille OSC, gave the Londoners the second goal after a corner kick from his compatriot Willian (50th).
Top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (57th) sealed the victory in the London derby which, like the game between Liverpool and Leeds, was played with empty ranks. Ozil’s future in London seems more open than ever. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had given him little hope of a mission on Friday.
