The Reds won the match without its superstar and remained top in the EPL.

Liverpool won against Bournemouth 4-0 at Vitality Stadium without Mohamed Salah, who is currently with his national team, Egypt, at the African Cup of Nations, but the Egyptian attacker will miss his nation’s next 2 matches in the tournament because of an injury.

The most interesting thing in the 1st half was when Justin Kluivert made a foul that previously was for a red card, according to the officials in the Premier League since the beginning of the season. Still, the Dutch player received no card for it.

At the beginning of the 2nd half, Liverpool got the lead after Darwin Nunez’s goal in the 49th minute after Diogo Jota’s assist.

Diogo Jota himself doubled the Reds’ lead with his goal in the 71st minute after Cody Gakpo’s assist as the biggest impact for the goal had Darwin Nunez, who won the ball in attack for Klopp’s side.

Diogo Jota made it 3-0 nine minutes later, and in the extra time, Darwin Nunez netted for 4-0 as both Jota and Nunez finished with 2 goals.

Liverpool are in 1st place with 48 points after 21 matches – 5 more than Man. City and Arsenal, but the Sky Blues have a game in hand.

Bournemouth are in 12th place with 25 points after 20 games, as that was the Cherries’ 2nd defeat in a row in the league after remaining undefeated in their previous 7 EPL matches.
