Bournemouth 0-4 Liverpool: Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota send Reds five points clear at Premier League summit - Eurosport

Liverpool

Liverpool claimed a 4-0 victory against Bournemouth in the Premier League. Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez both scored two goals each, helping the team gain a lead of five points at the top of the table.

The guests played without their creative stars Mo Salah (who was on international duty) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (who was injured), which was evident in a dull first half with very few scoring opportunities.

Nevertheless, the team from Merseyside displayed a greater sense of urgency in the second half and scored the first goal at 49 minutes, with Nunez effortlessly slotting away Jota's impeccable pass.

The visiting team kept their dominance and scored their second goal 20 minutes before the end of the game. Jota hit the back of the net with an unstoppable shot that bounced off the post, assisted by substitute Cody Gakpo.

The Portuguese player seemed to be having a lot of fun and scored his second goal of the night - his 11th of the season - by shooting low into the goal on his second attempt at the 79th minute.

Nunez completed an excellent second-half display by the away team by scoring his second goal of the game in the final moments of added time, adding insult to injury for the hosts.

Liverpool increased their advantage over Manchester City, who are currently in second place, to five points, following the outcome of their recent game. However, Liverpool have played one more match in comparison to Pep Guardiola's champions. Additionally, Bournemouth maintains their position at 12th place and are currently nine points ahead of the relegation zone.

Coming up next, Liverpool will be journeying to Fulham for the second part of their League Cup semi-final on Wednesday night. Also, Bournemouth are involved in the FA Cup fourth round on Thursday evening where they will homestead against Championship team Swansea City.

Liverpool's Strikers Shine Without Salah: Talking Point

Many people worry that Mo Salah participating in AFCON could cause problems for Liverpool's season, but it's important to remember that it could also give the other forwards a chance to shine.

Luckily for Jurgen Klopp and his team, it seems that Jota and Nunez have had a fantastic January, and Gakpo and Luis Diaz have had some good performances as well.

The Red's team currently has a lot of players who are injured, but they are still performing well and giving their best. Fans are hoping that Salah's hamstring injury, which he got while playing with Egypt, is not severe, and he can come back to the team. They believe he can lead them in the second part of the season just like before.

Meanwhile, it appears that Liverpool possess the necessary offensive capability to manage the situation.

Diogo Jota Named Player Of The Match

Since his return from injury, the Portugal player has been very active. He managed to score two goals and assist one out of the four goals. Currently, he seems to be the most lethal scorer in the team.
