Match report in news

  • 93'
    FT: Liverpool 3 - 0 Bournemouth!! No European hangover for the Reds as they see off Bournemouth comfortably thanks to goals from their deadly trio Mane, Salah and Firmino. The visitors had a late charge but they couldn't break Liverpool's defence today.
  • 92'
    Straight after the goal, Firmino makes way for Solanke.
  • 89'
    GOAL!! Firmino!! The Ox passes to the Brazilian in the box who breaks free from the Bournemouth defence to slot home his shot through a defender's leg. 3-0!!
  • 88'
    Oxlade-Chamberlain has another long-range effort and this one is much closer. He his it hard and low but it fires past whiskers past the post.
  • 84'
    CLOSE!! The visitors really have the bit between their teeth now. King fires a shot across the face of goal and it whistles past the far post.
Substitution

Substitution

at Liverpool
  • 83'
    Second change for Liverpool as Lovren comes off for Klavan. The Croatian looks in a bit of pain. That could be a big blow for the Reds.
  • 82'
    SAVE!! Karius is called into action to deny Bournemouth as the German reacts quickly to parry away a shot from Gosling.
  • 80'
    Oxlade-Chamberlain tries his luck from long-range but it's wide of the target.
  • 78'
    The second goal has fired Bournemouth into life. Will we see a comback before full-time?
  • 76'
    Milner comes on for Mane.
  • 72'
    Another substitution for the visitors as Lewis Cook comes off for Surman.
  • 68'
    GOAL!! SALAH!! Alexander-Arnold whips in an inch-perfect cross from the left-hand wing and Salah jumps high to tip it over Begovic and into the goal with his head. 2-0!!
  • 66'
    Liverpool appeal for a penalty! Salah goes down in the box after a push in the back by Ake but the referee isn't having any of it. Would have been very soft if given.
  • 64'
    Firmino uses his head and feet to direct the ball into Salah's path but the Egyptian's shot is blocked by the Bournemouth defence.
  • 62'
    A great run from Trent Alexander-Arnold gives Salah the ball high up the pitch. The forward manages to get a shot away but it's too weak and is an easy low save for Begovic.
  • 59'
    Liverpool have barely had any sniffs on goal in this second half and that one-goal lead now looks very precarious. Will they rue those missed opportunities?
  • 57'
    Bournemouth make the first change of the match as Ibe comes off against his former club to be replaced by Mousset.
Card

Yellow card

a Liverpool
  • 54'
    Oxlade-Chamberlain receives a yellow card for a late challenge on Ibe.
  • 52'
    Not quite as entertaining as the first half at the moment as both teams opt to patiently build their chances.
  • 48'
    Ibe goes to early for a free-kick and is rightly judged offside by the officials.
  • 47'
    The visitors cut out a dangerous link-up between Salah and Mane.
  • 46'
    Bournemouth get the second half underway! Can they stifle Liverpool's dominance?
  • 45'
    HT: Liverpool 1 - 0 Bournemouth! No European hangover for the 'Reds' as they have dominated the first 45 minutes at Anfield. However, a lack of clinical finishing means they only go into the break with a one-goal lead thanks to Sadio Mane in opening minutes of the match.
  • 45'
    One minute to be added on in this first-half.
  • 44'
    A fired high pass from midfield is headed at goal by a diving Sadio Mane but his effort is wide of the post.
  • 38'
    Salah's first touch lets him down and another chance goes begging for the Egyptian. Will he get on the scoresheet?
  • 36'
    The home side have had 65% possession so far and are dominating the chances too but are lacking some clinicality up top.
  • 35'
    Liverpool have a corner after Oxlade-Chamberlain's long-range shot takes a deflection. It leads to nothing.
  • 33'
    Ake does well to head away a dangerous cross by Mane, with Salah poaching just behind.
  • 31'
    Salah not quite firing on all cylinders today. He's slotted through on goal but can't chip the ball on target, instead blasting it over the crossbar.
  • 28'
    Robertson gets on the end of a lofting ball, heading it back across goal but it's just a bit too high for his team-mates to finish off.
  • 25'
    Salah works the space to get a long-range shot on goal but it is high of the target.
  • 23'
    The visitors have the ball in the back of the net but it won't count as Fraser received a pass in an offside position in the build-up.
  • 20'
    Bournemouth have their first corner of the match. However, a push on Mane's back gives away a free-kick and a chance to end the Liverpool dominace.
  • 18'
    Salah receives the ball from the right wing just outside the box and after some nifty skill, breaks free from the Bournemouth defence to have a shot on goal. It's saved well by Begovic.
  • 16'
    SAVE!! It's Trent Alexander-Arnold that has a go and it's a good curling effort which forces a decent save from Begovic.
Card

Yellow card

a AFC Bournemouth
  • 15'
    Ake goes into the book for an arm across Oxlade-Chamberlain. Liverpool have a central free-kick 25 yards out.
  • 13'
    Mane is rightly called offside by the officials. Shame as he was through on goal there.
  • 10'
    Liverpool have a free-kick 30 yards out on the right wing after a Bournemouth player handled the ball. It's dealt with well by the visitors.
  • 8'
    Ibe tries his luck with a long-range effort but it flies over the crossbar.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Liverpool en el 7'
  • 7'
    GOAL! LIVERPOOL!! I spoke too soon. Henderson finds Mane in the box with an inch-perfect pass which the forward heads at goal. Begovic is there to save it but Mane fires home the rebound. 1-0!
  • 6'
    Liverpool have the first corner of the match but it leads to nothing.
  • 5'
    Lively opening five minutes at Anfield. Both teams want the ball and are looking to attack at every opportunity.
  • 3'
    CHANCE! A great skipping pass from Trent Alexander-Arnold puts Salah one-on-one with the goalkeeper but his shot is inches wide of the post!!
  • 2'
    Bournemouth block a dangerous through ball to Salah which would have seen the Egyptian free on goal. Good work.
  • 1'
    Liverpool get the game underway!
