Hugo Ekitiké scored and provided an assist on his Premier League debut for Liverpool, in the 4-2 victory over Bournemouth, this Friday (15th).
He is only the second player from the club to do this — 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 assisted Gakpo to extend the lead.

Mohamed Salah also shone with the fourth goal, proving to be simply unstoppable in Premier League debuts.
The "Egyptian King" has already scored 10 goals in the opening round and has 15 direct contributions (goals + assists), leading in these two aspects in the history of the competition.
Whenever the season starts, Salah delivers. It's become a guarantee of a goal right in the first game. No one has better numbers than him in the opening round.
