00:00Full time here at Anfield, Liverpool back to winning ways in the Premier League, a 3-0 victory over AFC Bournemouth.
00:07The first half performance was devastating from Arne Slotman, he blitzed away AFC Bournemouth, devastating for Liverpool.
00:16They actually had a bit of a shaky start because Bournemouth thought they'd taken the lead inside five minutes
00:24Anthony Simeone finished at the back post but luckily enough the VAR reviewed conductors and he was adjudged to be offside.
00:32But from there Liverpool were on the front foot, they created some real good chances.
00:36Louis Diaz again ran amok, had a couple of efforts on goal himself, Mo Salah had one, but then it was Diaz who broke the deadlock.
00:45A great ball over the top from Ibohima Kanata, he was excellent all game.
00:49Louis Diaz latched on to it and the Bournemouth keeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, was caught in no-man's land.
00:55Diaz took it round him and finished into virtually an unguarded net.
01:01Two minutes later it was 2-0, Diaz again with another fantastic finish.
01:06Trent Alexander-Arnold marauded out to the back, no-one really closing down, he had plenty of time.
01:14Diaz showed the composure to finish and before half-time it was wrapped up 3-0.
01:20Darwin Nunes making his first start of the season, first start under Arne Slott and what a finish it was.
01:26Arne Slott just said in his press conference that Nunes proved him wrong.
01:32Nunes played a nice one-two with Salah, galloped into the Bournemouth box, cut back onto his left foot.
01:39You're thinking, what's he going to do here? Is he going to give it? Is he going to go again?
01:44But he killed a sublime left-footed finish into the far corner, it was fantastic.
01:50Be up there with the goals of the season that Liverpool scored.
01:53Second half, Liverpool took the foot off the gas a little bit.
01:56He had a couple of chances, Mo Salah had one cleared off the line.
02:00Bit of a tame effort in the end but it was going in nonetheless.
02:05And Bournemouth to the credits, the rallies late on, had a couple of chances.
02:10There was no Alisson Becker in goal, he was injured.
02:14Arne Slott said in his pre-match press conference that Alisson was a doubt but Keleher made some magnificent saves at the end.
02:20To keep a 4th clean sheet in five Premier League games for Liverpool, the top of the table as things stand.
02:26They bounced back from their 1-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest last week.
02:30Of course they won against AC Milan in midweek and now their attention turns to the Carabao Cup.
02:35The defence of the Carabao Cup against West Ham United here at Anfield.
02:39Arnavsos will surely make a few changes but probably still a strong side you would like to say.
02:44The likes of Curtis Jones will get a start and Chiesa and Gakpo.
02:49Joe Gomez, Gerald Cransthorpe, Conor Bradley.
02:54So it will still be a strong side but you think for Liverpool.
