September 21, (THEWILL) – Liverpool climbed to the top of the English Premier League table with a dominant 3-0 win over Bournemouth at Anfield. The victory came as a strong response to their previous league defeat against Nottingham Forest.
Luiz Diaz was the star of the show, scoring twice in quick succession. His first goal capitalised on a positioning error by Bournemouth goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, while his second was a clinical finish through the keeper’s legs. Darwin Nunez added a spectacular third before half-time, cementing Liverpool’s control of the match.
Bournemouth had an early setback when Antoine Semenyo’s goal was disallowed for offside following a VAR review. From that point on, Liverpool dominated the proceedings, creating numerous chances and controlling possession.
The result puts Liverpool in a prime position ahead of Sunday’s crucial match between Manchester City and Arsenal. The outcome of that game could have significant implications for the top-of-the-table positions.
Bournemouth, now in 13th place, will need to regroup quickly as they aim to get some points in the bag. For Liverpool, the convincing performance will boost confidence as they continue their progress under Arne Slot.
