Bournemouth were in fine form after winning their last two games by a combined 9-1 scoreline but replicating those results against this Liverpool team was always going to be a tall order
.The match began promisingly for the hosts, with Antoine Semenyo's shot crashing against the upright.
However, Cody Gakpo won a penalty for the visitors and Mohamed Salah converted the spot-kick with ease, drilling the ball into the bottom corner.
Bournemouth had enough chances to get back in the game and even had a goal ruled out for offside,
Alisson Becker made a crucial intervention to deny Semenyo in the second half and Marcus Tavernier's shot cannoned off the post as the Cherries pushed for an equaliser.
In the end, Liverpool struck again and it was their star man, Salah, taking his tally for the season to 20 goals with a beautiful curling effort.
The result sends Liverpool 9 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table, still with a game in hand.
