2023 : Liverpool played their first home game of the 2023/24 season, coming from behind to defeat Bournemouth 3-1.  After a sloppy start that saw Liverpool gift the visitors an early goal, the Reds fought back to earn the victory with goals from Luis Diaz, Mo Salah and Diogo Jota.  New midfielder Alexis Mac Allister was sent off on his home debut, althought his dismissal was judged harsh by fans and commentators alike.
