Liverpool ran out 3-1 winners against Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday in the Premier League and we can now bring you the match highlights.
Jurgen Klopp named an unchanged team from the 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend but was able to name new signing Wataru Endo on the bench.

The Reds started sluggishly and were slightly fortunate to not go a goal behind in the first minute when Jaidon Anthony had the ball in the net after a mix-up between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson Becker. Fortunately, the Cherries’ winger had just edged into an offside position to give Liverpool an early let-off.
Just two minutes later, however, more poor play by Alexander-Arnold and Vigil van Dijk was pounced on by Bournemouth and Antoine Semenyo finished well to make it 1-0.
Liverpool eventually started to find their rhythm and were level in the 27th minute when Diogo Jota’s incisive run into the box saw the ball make its way to Luis Diaz who brilliantly hooked the ball into the net.
It was 2-1 just nine minutes later when Dominik Szoboszlai was felled in the box and Mohamed Salah converted the rebound from his penalty that had been saved by Neto.
After the break, Liverpool continued to threaten to add to their lead with much of their positive play coming through Szoboszlai.
Alexis Mac Allister was harshly sent off in the 58th minute after he felled Ryan Christie after Bournemouth broke out of their box.
Four minutes later however it was 3-1 when Diogo Jota was on hand to slam home Neto’s parry from a Szoboszlai shot from the edge of the box.
Both sides could have added further goals with Alisson Becker on hand for Liverpool to thwart Bournemouth late on.
It wasn’t vintage Liverpool under Klopp but the three points were all that mattered as they now prepare to face Newcastle United at St James’ Park next week.
