Roberto Firmino is the first player to record two assists inside the opening six minutes of a Premier League match since Islam Slimani in December 2016 for Leicester against Manchester City.

We know how good Salah's left foot is, it is an absolute wand.

But that is no excuse, you've got to go with your right. The build up to that was genius, Harvey Elliott is working really well on the left with Diaz and Firmino.

Crystal Palace can't even get close to the ball now as Manchester City pull them in one direction and then the other. It is starting to feel like a matter of time before the hosts make this dominance count.

This one is a better header from Brighton defender Adam Webster than the one a couple of minutes ago but it's still wide. Definitely counts as a shot though.

Mohamed Salah misses a sitter. Unbelievable.

Roberto Firmino backheels the ball to Harvey Elliott, who plays a ball across goal. Salah is there at the back post, four yards out, empty net and somehow he skies it.

Liverpool can afford to sit back a bit now. They'll try to draw Bournemouth onto them, and their back four against Liverpool's front three will almost be outnumbered.

Salah is having one of those days.

Bournemouth's first opportunity but Kieffer Moore heads straight at Alisson.

Fifteen minutes in and no shots yet. Adam Webster gets his head to a Brighton free-kick but it heads towards the touchline.

Approaching the quarter of an hour mark and Manchester City are turning up their domination. They've had 75% possession and completed 126 passes to Palace's 39.

Everton are searching for a first league win of the season and they have settled since Brentford's quick start.

Alex Iwobi has fired into the arms of David Raya from the edge of the box while the Toffees have had 66% of the possession in the opening 15 minutes or so.

FizzyB: Horror start for Bournemouth. I expect one huge trashing. What other way for Liverpool to make a statement?

Ben: Two assists for Firmino already, you love to see it!

John: "long afternoon" cliché for Bournemouth!

Brian: This is more like it Reds! What a start by Diaz and Elliott. Could be a grand score line today. Bournemouth have looked like material for a drop straight back down and will be early relegation favourites.

Roberto Firmino has now assisted six goals in 11 Premier League games against Bournemouth, including his two today.

A very, very lucky escape for Leicester as after a VAR check the penalty that had been awarded is wiped out.

The VAR official was happy that Youri Tielemans had fouled Ruben Loftus-Cheek, but, by the tightest of margins, Kai Havertz is just ruled offside when racing on to a forward pass earlier in the move.

Erling Haaland gets onto the ball for the first time in this game and then charges into the box but Crystal Palace defend well and Manchester City have a corner.

The ball in is diverted behind again before Haaland powers a header over.

Youri Tielemans takes out Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Chelsea have a great chance to take the lead.

There is an applause and rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' in the ninth minute for nine year old Olivia Pratt-Korbel, who was murdered in the city on Monday.

First chance for a chance for Brighton as Danny Welbeck sets Leandro Trossard away. The Belgian gets into the box and tries to cut inside but Rasmus Kristensen boots the ball away from him.

Fairly calamitous stuff from Manchester City for that goal with the free kick hitting Kyle Walker's elbow and then John Stones' knee to divert into the back of the net.

Still waiting for a response from the hosts as Phil Foden hooks a shot of sorts well, well over.

It's a great finish!

Firmino takes a rather dodgy touch but Elliott instinctively just touches it and bangs it in the top corner!

They've come out the blocks firing and they look certain to score more goals today.

Bournemouth are rattled, they don't know what to do!

Luis Diaz tucks the ball into an empty net but the offside flag had long gone. It doesn't even count as a disallowed goal.
