LIVERPOOL, England -- Three quick thoughts from Liverpool's 4-0 win over West Ham in their opening match of the 2018-19 Premier League season at Anfield.
1. Liverpool meet expectations in season opener
Liverpool started a hugely promising season as they mean to go on. Expectations on Merseyside are as high as they've ever been -- and rightly so based on this compelling display.
Golden Boot holder Mohamed Salah appears to have picked up where he left off as he scored the opening goal before Sadio Mane then netted twice. Late substitute Daniel Sturridge scored with his first touch to put Liverpool top of the table.
