Despite having to concede an early goal, the class of the attacking stars in the squad helped The Kop win in round 29 of the Premier League.
Liverpool started the match with a lack of concentration that is common in recent matches.
The consequences of that superficiality came in the 9th minute, Bournemouth had an extremely quick counterattack and Callum Wilson was the one to buffer the ball from close range to the surprise of the Liverpool audience.
After conceding the goal, the home team seemed to wake up and they proved their class by taking advantage of the opponent’s defense mistakes very well, with the shine of the stars in the squad.
In the 25th minute, Sadio Mane stole the ball very quickly from the opponent’s midfielder. He passed the ball to create a favorable opportunity for Salah to score accurately, equalizing the score for the Red Brigade.
Just 8 minutes later, it was Mane again with a quick escape, this time he put his name on the scoreboard with a precise shot.
Entering the second half, coach Klopp directed his players to play slowly and steadily to avoid falling into the opponent’s counterattack trap, and he proved to be very correct with this strategy.
However, on an unlucky day, Sadio Mane or Mohamed Salah were unable to score any more goals in the remaining minutes.
Final score: Liverpool 2-1 Bournemouth
