Liverpool pulled clear at the top of the Premier League on Sunday after a 4-0 win at Bournemouth.
After a frustrating first half, the Reds upped the tempo after the break and score two excellent goals on the break. First Darwin Nunez calmly finished to cap off a slick move, then Diogo Jota crashed in a low shot after a fine pass from Cody Gakpo.
Jota then grabbed his second in bizarre circumstances, miskicking his initial effort wildly before lashing home at the second attempt. Nunez wrapped the game up in injury time after Nunez turned home Joe Gomez's cross.
The Reds are now five points ahead of Manchester City having played one game more.
Ian Doyle was in attendance at the Vitality Stadium to score the Liverpool players.
