Bournemouth bring Liverpool back to Earth with 1-0 win

Bournemouth won 1-0 their home match against Liverpool in Premier League. Merseyside team displayed one of their best matches a week ago, trashing their rivals Manchester United 7-0, but today the old hick-ups were shown again.

Liverpool scored in the 13th minute with Cody Gakpo, but his goal was ruled out for offside. 15 minutes later the home side opened the scoring. Dango Ouattara provided Philip Billing with a nice pass inside the box, which allowed him to finish with a strike into the middle of the goal, leaving Allison no chance to react.

Just before half-time VAR checked in incident in Liverpool’s penalty box, but the referee didn’t point to the spot.

A little over an hour of play VAR got into action again, this time checking if there is penalty for Liverpool and this time John Brooks gave the penalty kick. Mohamed Salah decided to get to the spot, but he shot narrowly wide of the left post.
