7' GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Bournemouth (Mane)

Henderson clips a delightful ball in for Mane, left unmarked in the centre. His initial header is stopped by Begovic, but the keeper can do nothing to deny Mane on the rebound, as he gives Liverpool a deserved early lead.

There have been 19 goals scored in the five previous Premier League meetings between these sides, at an average of 3.8 per game.

69' GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Bournemouth (Salah)

A beautiful finish from the winger who cushions a delicious header over Begovic, on the end of a long ball from Alexander-Arnold! He's the first African player to score 30 goals in a Premier League season!

That was an equally stunning delivery from Alexander-Arnold, who provides the assist.

89' GOAL! Liverpool 3-0 Bournemouth (Firmino)

The icing on the cake for Liverpool as Firmino guides a terrific finish through the legs of Steve Cook and in at the near post! It's a full blown party at Anfield.
