Notes

  • - Joe Allen makes his LFC debut
  • - Pepe Reina saved a penalty from Shane Long on 60'
  • - Brendan Rodgers' first Premier League game as Liverpool boss. Despite the 3-0 scoreline, it is not the worst League debut for a man in the hotseat at Anfield. That belongs to none other than Bill Shankly who lost 4-0 to Cardiff in 1959!
    - Liverpool's heaviest opening day defeat in the top-flight since 1937.
    - Steven Gerrard's 250th game as skipper of Liverpool
