Liverpool produced a superb display to thrash Bournemouth 4-0 at Dean Court on Sunday, and supporters were left unsurprisingly delighted.
Bournemouth 0-4 Liverpool
Premier League, Anfield
December 17, 2017
Goals: Coutinho (20′), Lovren (26′), Salah (44′), Firmino (66′)
The Reds always had too much attacking brilliance for their powerless opponents, as they got back to winning ways in style on the south coast.
Philippe Coutinho opened the scoring with a lovely individual effort, before Dejan Lovren‘s diving header made it 2-0.
Mohamed Salah scored his 20th goal of the season to put Liverpool in dreamland before half-time, and Roberto Firmino completed the rout.
Here’s how supporters saw Liverpool’s 4-0 win on the south coast on Facebook, Twitter and our forums.
With Sadio Mane the only member of the ‘Fab Four’ not starting, it was left to Coutinho, Salah and Firmino to run the show. They duly obliged…
LOL. What can you say. Mo Salah. Just unreal. 3-0 to Liverpool. #LFC #BOULIV pic.twitter.com/QWhsz2JUWz

Mo Salah reaches 20 goals in a season for @LFC in the 4th quickest ever time by date (17th December) – only beaten by Ian Rush (8th November 1986), Roger Hunt (25th November 1961) and Hunt again (15th December 1965).

Salah has scored more goals in half a season than Hazard in a full season for Chelsea.

Firmino Deserves that. So important to the team going forward

I don’t see anyone missing Mane now and when team news came out 95% fans moaning about why Mane is on the bench.

Salah is turning into Arjen Robben. Everyone knows what's coming but they can't do anything about it.

Mo Salah. Signing of the season by a country mile.

That's absolutely stunning from Coutinho. Such a composed finish after a mazy run. Great run from Robertson on the outside helped him out too. #LFC

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was excellent all afternoon in his preferred midfield role, and it was nice to see fans appreciating his influence…
Looking more and more the part every week, Oxlade-Chamberlain coming into his own now. Benefited from Lallana being out, no doubt. #LFC

Oxlade-Chamberlain trying hard to prove my “supremely average” tag wrong. Hope he does!
— Erin Mc Asterisk (@ErinNYC75) December 17, 2017
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has created the most chances (4) on the pitch in the first half.
Also grabs an assist for Mo Salah’s goal.

Chamberlain has been brilliant, again.
— L4 (@L4Kop10) December 17, 2017
Watch that 45 minutes and you see exactly why we signed Oxlade-Chamberlain, he’s a perfect fit. Class act.
— Joel Rabinowitz (@joel_archie) December 17, 2017
Sensational from Chamberlain there ………
Who said he was a bad signing ……. ?
– Fester on the forums.
Oxlade-Chamberlain is quietly but impressively growing into an LFC player and he's nowhere near peaked yet. Could be a top quality CM for years to come.

Fantastic performance, fantastic win. Lovely stuff.

Full-time, #LFC win 4-0 and probably even more comfortably than that scoreline suggests.

Really good performance all round that.

Great away victory. Boys were very composed and played very well. All 11 played very well. Arsenal next away! Vital game for us.
— The Kop Watch (@TheKopWatch) December 17, 2017
FT 0-4. Professional performance in that second half. Back on track and now onto Arsenal on Friday.
— James Phillips (@JJP_LFC) December 17, 2017
4 – @LFC are the first team in top-flight history to have won four consecutive away games by a margin of at least three goals. Record. pic.twitter.com/Kjowqc6676

Brilliant attacking display yet again. Mo, Ox, Bobby and Phil were amazing. Clean sheet a bonus and nice to see some players giving away shirts to the traveling fans. Bring on Arsenal!
