Liverpool fans pay tribute to Olivia Pratt-Korbel (BBC News)

A minute's applause is held before Liverpool's game for the nine-year-old girl, who was shot in her home.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of her murder, while a woman was detained on suspicion of assisting an offender. Ms Dale was the half-sister of 16-year-old Lewis Dunne, who was shot dead in a case of mistaken identity in Liverpool in 2015. The applause at Anfield was part of a series of tributes in the city, after four people were killed in the space of a week in Merseyside. He was with a group of friends in Lavrock Bank cul-de-sac when they were shot at by riders on two electric bikes, Merseyside Police said. Balloons were also released at Sefton Park in memory of Ashley Dale, who was gunned down in her garden on Sunday. Olivia was shot after a gunman chased a man - both of whom had no links to her family - into her home.

Liverpool football fans pay tribute to Olivia Pratt-Korbel (The Guardian)

Spectators applaud during ninth minute of match as Jürgen Klopp asks, 'How can this happen?' after nine-year-old shot.

How can this happen? There is only one side to be on in this situation and that is the side of Olivia and her family. That it could happen in a city as special as this one where people look out for one another and stand together makes even less sense.

Liverpool equaled the Premier League's record for the biggest victory on Saturday, beating Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield.

For today I wanted the start we showed and then the rest ... "You just have to give the game a proper direction and that's why I loved the start today so much. We should have won this game, so when I don't say that about all games against United ... Klopp continued: "But it's not out of this world that we lose at United 2-1, especially when we don't perform on our highest level, that can happen and it's very likely to happen. In reaching the nine-goal winning margin, Liverpool matched the record set by Manchester United against Ipswich in 1995 and Southampton last year, and by Leicester against Southampton in 2019. And things went from bad to worse with a stunning 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in its third game, with its bitter rivals coming into to the game off the back of a terrible start to the season.

Arsenal needed a late comeback against Fulham to remain the only team yet to drop points.

Liverpool equals English Premier League record in 9-0 win over ... (Stuff.co.nz)

Liverpool bag nine goals as Erving Haaland grabs Man City hat-trick in dramatic EPL round.

Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic robbed the Brazilian of possession and beat goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale with a low finish inside the far post. It was Leno’s first return to Emirates Stadium since his offseason move across London. Firmino lost his starting place to new signing Darwin Nunez this season, but showed he can still be a vital part of Liverpool's attack. Manchester City also showed that it can never be counted out after the defending champion found itself trailing by two goals for the second straight game. Having gifted Fulham the lead in the second half, Gabriel was on hand to score from close range after a corner in the 86th minute to complete the comeback for Arsenal. But Sterling broke the deadlock just after halftime with a shot from the edge of the area, and doubled the lead in the 63rd with a tap-in from Reece James’ cross at the far post. It was also the team’s first clean sheet, thanks in part to David de Gea’s reflex save to keep out a header from Joe Aribo in the 66th. The blowout against visiting Bournemouth continued, and when Luis Diaz netted his second to make it 9-0 in the 85th it looked like Liverpool could become the first league team to score 10 goals in a game. * After Bernardo Silva pulled one back eight minutes into the second half, Haaland took over with three goals in the space of 20 minutes to take his tally to six in his first four league appearances. Arsenal, the only team to start the season with three wins, had a chance to maintain its perfect record when it played Fulham at home in the late game. After a winless start to the season and a dispiriting loss to its archrival, Liverpool needed to make a statement against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Ruben Neves to Liverpool transfer ruled out as Jurgen Klopp made ... (Daily Express)

LIVERPOOL have seen their hopes of landing Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves dashed.

[Newcastle](/latest/newcastle-united-fc) on Sunday - a match in which Neves struck a long-range screamer - Lage put to bed speculation surrounding his star midfielder's future by insisting he is “99 per cent” confident of hanging on to his skipper, who was unsettled at the start of the summer. Lage had previously issued a hands-off warning over the 30-time Portugal international by slapping a £100million price tag on his head. If you ask me at the end of last season I would have said to you, ‘I will leave’ but I’m still here, so we never know what’s going to happen.” Neves has since emerged as a potential target, however, Liverpool's hopes of striking a late deal for the 25-year-old appear to have been short-lived. Lage said: “I’m 99 per cent certain he will stay for one more year. Neves has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield in recent days after Reds boss [Jurgen Klopp](/latest/jurgen-klopp) declared his side will now look to add a midfielder to their ranks before Thursday's deadline.
