Kepa stepped out for Diaz to move past him to score the first goal.
Diaz follows it up with a quickfire second goal!
Nunez scores a beauty to a Salah assist.
Liverpool dominated possession, momentum, and goals to steamroll a Bournemouth side that couldn’t find its feet throughout the match.
Luis Diaz began the scoring when a long ball forward wrong-footed Bournemouth’s defense with Diaz onside. Goalkeeper Kepa decided to step out which made it easy for Diaz to step past him and easily score the opener. The goalkeeper had been so assured until then. Diaz punished Bournemouth’s defense again with a second goal within 2 minutes from his first. Trent Alexander-Arnold navigated through the open space in Bournemouth territory. Who then found Diaz inside the box down the left who drilled a confident finish under Kepa.
To make matters worse for the visitors, Nunez followed up with the third goal of the day. Salah passed Nunez down the right who then cut back inside. He curled in an absolute beauty to the far corner of the net. Kepa had no chance. Liverpool playing their best after last week’s disappointment have punished Bournemouth for every opening.
Nottingham Forest stunned Liverpool last weekend to end Arne Slot’s perfect win start. The Reds perfectly bounced back by battering Bournemouth in the first half of the game today. The Anfield crowd loved every minute of the red devil’s rampage.
It could have been a very different afternoon for Bournemouth had Antoine Semenyo’s goal not been ruled out for offside by VAR. The Bournemouth forward skipped behind the Liverpool backline six minutes into the match but VAR replays showed he had strayed ahead of the play. After that initial scare, Liverpool found their stride and moved top of the Premier League for the time being.
