You can watch the goal below.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, former England and Blackburn Rovers striker Chris Sutton said: “Liverpool look dangerous when they bypass Bournemouth’s midfield, Nunez and Salah link up really well. Nunez elects to shoot left-footed and it is a stunning finish, a curler. Liverpool a cruising. This could be a cricket score, the way this is going. “Bournemouth are really reckless in their approach. It was a four against three and Liverpool should have created more there.
Ex-England defender Anita Asante added: “Darwin Nunez runs into the channel with the ball and as he approaches the box he cuts inside onto his left foot. The power he gets on the shot to whip it into the top corner of the net is incredible. Bournemouth keep getting caught out by the speed and quality of Liverpool’s transitions.”Liverpool hold a 3-0 lead as the half-time whistle sounded at Anfield.
As things stand, Slot’s men will climb to the top of the Premier League table ahead of Manchester City’s mouth-watering clash against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
