The 2025-26 Premier League season started with a six-goal thriller between Liverpool and Bournemouth on Friday, but was quickly overshadowed

The ugly incident of a fan racially abusing Antoine Semenyo during Liverpool's 4-2 victory over Bournemouth has resulted in an arrest. In the 30th minute of play, Semenyo reported racist abuse from the stands and the match was stopped by referee Anthony Taylor before being resumed while an anti-discrimination message was delivered to the crowd.

Liverpool's Premier League clash with Bournemouth was paused following an allegation of "discriminatory abuse" from a supporter toward Antoine Semenyo.
