Semenyo says alleged racist abuse at Liverpool ‘will stay with me forever'
LIVERPOOL: Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo said on Saturday the racist abuse he alleges was directed at him by a Liverpool fan at Anfield 'will stay with me forever.' For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport But the Ghanian international added that the incident during the Premier League season opener on Friday had also shown football's 'best side when it mattered most.' Police have launched an investigation after Semenyo was abused by someone in the crowd during the first half of Liverpool's 4-2 win. Play was halted and a 47-year-old man was later ejected from the stadium. Semenyo, 25, went on to score twice as Bournemouth came back from 2-0 down but Liverpool scored two late goals to seal the win. 'Last night at Anfield will stay with me forever — not because of one person's words, but because of how the entire football family stood together,' Semenyo said on social media. 'To my Bournemouth team-mates who supported me in that moment, to the Liverpool players and fans who showed their true character, to the Premier League officials who handled it professionally — thank you. Football showed its best side when it mattered most. 'Scoring those two goals felt like speaking the only language that truly matters on the pitch. This is why I play — for moments like these, for my team-mates, for everyone who believes in what this beautiful game can be. 'The overwhelming messages of support from across the football world remind me why I love this sport. We keep moving forward, together,' he added. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk described the incident as a 'disgrace' and said it showed how much work needed to be done to educate people about racism. 'What else can we do? Because this is the very odd one (case) that has managed to say something that is obviously a disgrace,' the Dutchman said. 'The only thing we can do is deal with it by dealing with him personally and try to educate the next generation. That is the only way to try and kick it out, in my opinion. 'I can't believe it. These things shouldn't happen but unfortunately it does and it is an absolute disgrace in my eyes. 'These things should never happen in the world, not only (never in) football.' Van Dijk also said he was 'here for Antoine, whenever he needs it and we are here as a club to deal with it in the best way possible because it shouldn't happen.'

Liverpool Match Halted after Bournemouth's Semenyo Reports Racist Abuse from Crowd
Liverpool's Premier League season-opening match against Bournemouth was briefly halted on Friday after visiting forward Antoine Semenyo reported getting racist abuse from the crowd. Referee Anthony Taylor stopped play at a Liverpool corner in the 29th minute to address the incident, summoning both managers to the touchline for a briefing. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Bournemouth counterpart Adam Smith were then called over to the benches for further instructions before play resumed four minutes later, Reuters reported. Following halftime, an anti-discrimination message was read out to the crowd at Anfield. Ghana international Semenyo, 25, went on to score twice after play resumed, helping his side to briefly level the score before reigning Premier League champions Liverpool secured a 4-2 victory with a late surge. "We're very concerned about the allegation of discrimination from an area of the crowd," England's Football Association said in a statement. "Incidents of this nature have no place in our game, and we will work closely with the match officials, the clubs, and the relevant authorities to establish the facts and ensure that the appropriate action is taken." Merseyside Police said a 47-year-old man had been ejected from Anfield after reports of the racist abuse, adding that an investigation was under way. Liverpool said they would fully support the police investigation. "Merseyside Police will not tolerate hate crime of any form," Chief Inspector Kev Chatterton, the match commander for the game, said in a statement. "We take incidents like this very seriously, and in cases like this we will be proactively seeking football banning orders, with the club, against those responsible. "There is no place for racism and it is vital that anyone who witnesses such an offence reports it to stewards, or the police immediately, so we can take the necessary action like we did this evening." Liverpool coach Arne Slot was upset about the incident. "It is clear that we do not want this in football," the Dutchman said. "We definitely don't want this at Anfield ... This should never happen in football, let alone at Anfield." Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola said: "Straight away, Antoine and the referee told us. The person has been identified. "It's a big shame that these things keep happening. It's the first game of the season, a lovely game of football, and I have to speak about these things happening." The incident at Anfield follows reports of Tottenham Hotspur's French forward Mathys Tel being subjected to racist abuse on social media after missing a penalty in his side's UEFA Super Cup defeat by Paris St Germain on Wednesday.

Late Salah, Chiesa goals give Liverpool 4-2 win in thrilling Premier League opener
LIVERPOOL, England: Liverpool talisman Mo Salah and substitute Federico Chiesa struck late goals as the Premier League champions began the defense of their title by beating Bournemouth 4-2 in a thriller on the opening night of the season at Anfield on Friday. On a bittersweet evening charged with emotion after the July death of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, newcomer Hugo Ekitike bagged a goal on his league debut to put the hosts ahead after 37 minutes and Cody Gakpo doubled the lead in the 49th. But Antoine Semenyo, who was the target of racist abuse in the first half that led to a pause in the game, pulled one back for the visitors in the 64th minute and completed a double 12 minutes later to rock Liverpool and shock the home fans. However, Chiesa came off the bench and sent the Anfield faithful away happy with an 88th-minute strike after goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic swatted away a ball into the box by Salah, who scored himself deep into added time to wrap up the three points. 'Fantastic,' Liverpool boss Arne Slot said of Italian forward Chiesa's goal. 'He came in in the end because we needed a goal. For him then to score in such a moment is special. 'It's even more special because the fans have supported him. It's nice he gives them something in return with a great goal.' With Liverpool ahead again, Salah chased the ball past the defense before cutting inside and firing into the bottom corner with a 94th-minute goal that put the Egyptian joint-fourth with Andy Cole on the all-time Premier League scorers' list with 187. An emotional Salah pointed to the heavens and flapped two hands to mimic Jota's shark goal celebration. He headed for The Kop stand after the final whistle, and wiped away tears while applauding the fans who were singing their Jota song to the tune of 'Bad Moon Rising.' Minute's silence The night started with an emotional minute's silence for Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who died in a car crash. Fans fought back tears as they sang 'You'll Never Walk Alone.' Ekitike, who has joined from Eintracht Frankfurt, was the most impressive of Slot's close-season signings in a spending spree topping 300 million pounds ($406.53 million). 'Obviously I think it was a good performance, I could do better,' said the French forward — who held up two fingers in one hand, and made a zero with the other in a tribute to Liverpool's Jota, who wore number 20 — after his goal. 'But the most important thing was winning, the mentality we showed. Obviously we wanted to win tonight for the people who came and for Diogo,' added the 23-year-old forward. The game was halted for several minutes after Bournemouth's Ghana international Semenyo reported the racist abuse. 'It's totally unacceptable,' Bournemouth captain Adam Smith said. 'Kind of in shock to be honest that it happened. In this day and age it shouldn't be happening. 'I don't know how Ant's played on to be honest and come up with those goals ... Something has to be done. We'll support him in there and hopefully he'll be ok.'
