Reds looking to recover after shock Nottingham Forest loss
Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League with an assured 3-0 victory over Bournemouth at Anfield.
The Reds got back to winning ways after their defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend with goals through Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez.
Diaz made Bournemouth goalkeeper Kepa pay for rushing out of his goal with a neatly-taken first, before doubling the lead minutes later.
Darwin Nunez then added a sublime third to wrap up the victory for Arne Slot’s side.
