Liverpool delivered a strong second-half performance to secure a 4-0 win against Bournemouth in the Premier League, with Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez each contributing two goals and Jota adding an assist. The victory, highlighted by a great team move in the 49th minute, propelled Liverpool five points clear at the top of the table, ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City. The Reds achieved this feat without four starters: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Mohamed Salah, who is returning to Liverpool for injury rehabilitation after sustaining an injury at the Africa Cup of Nations. Manager Jurgen Klopp mentioned that Salah might rejoin the tournament if fit for the final.
💬 "This kind of feeling, it just comes natural and that's why I need to be there to help the team to score goals and make assists." Diogo Jota on #BOULIV ⤵️
