📈Ekitiké and Salah shine as Liverpool kick off Premier League 2025/26 | OneFootball

Hugo Ekitiké scored and provided an assist in his Premier League debut for Liverpool, in the 4-2 win over Bournemouth, on Friday (15).

He is only the second player from the club to do so — the first was Darwin Núñez, against Fulham, in August 2022. The data is from Opta.

In a dream debut, Ekitiké opened the scoring for the Reds and provided the assist for Gakpo to extend the lead.

Mohamed Salah also shone with the fourth goal, showing he is simply unstoppable in Premier League debuts.

The "Egyptian King" has already scored 10 goals in the first round and has 15 direct participations (goals + assists), leading in both categories in the competition's history.

Whenever he starts the season, Salah delivers. He has become a guarantee of a goal in the first game. No one has better numbers than him in the opening round.
