Liverpool moved to within three wins of a maiden Premier League title with a gritty 2-1 win over Bournemouth.
The Reds controversially fell behind inside 10 minutes when Callum Wilson turned home Ryan Fraser’s low cross, despite appearing to shove Joe Gomez in the back earlier in the move.
However, defensive errors gifted goals to Mo Salah and Sadio Mane and ensured Jurgen Klopp’s sided headed into half-time ahead in a strangely subdued Anfield.
First, substitute centre-half Jack Simpson lost the ball to Mane 30 yards from goal and though the Senegal striker’s square ball was poor, Salah recovered it to steer an effort inside the near post.
Eight minutes later, Virgil Van Dijk passed into an enormous gap between Simpson and Jack Stacey, enabling Mane to run through on goal and steer the ball inside Aaron Ramsdale’s left hand post.– Eurosport
