Brian The EmpireBournemouth 0 – 2 Liverpool.
Liverpool continued their relentless march towards the Premier League title with a clinical 2-0 victory over a resilient Bournemouth side at the Vitality Stadium. Mohamed Salah was once again the hero, bagging a brace to secure the three points for the Reds.
The match started with both teams cautiously probing for weaknesses. Bournemouth, buoyed by their recent strong form, were determined to make life difficult for the league leaders. However, Liverpool’s quality shone through as they gradually took control of the game.
Salah opened the scoring in the 30th minute with a coolly taken penalty after Lewis Cook was adjudged to have fouled Cody Gakpo inside the box. The Egyptian forward sent the goalkeeper the wrong way, calmly slotting the ball into the bottom corner.
Bournemouth refused to be disheartened and continued to battle hard. They defended resolutely and looked to break on the counter-attack. However, Liverpool’s defense, marshalled by the ever-present Virgil van Dijk, remained solid and organized.
The second half saw Liverpool continue to dominate possession and create chances. Salah sealed the victory in the 75th minute with a sublime finish, curling the ball past the goalkeeper after a swift counter-attack. The win extends Liverpool’s lead at the top of the table and sends a message to their title rivals. They look unstoppable at the moment, and it’s hard to see who can stop them from lifting the trophy come May.
