Liverpool edged ever closer to top-four qualification with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Bournemouth, much to the delight of supporters.
Liverpool 3-0 Bournemouth
Premier League, Anfield
April 14, 2018
Goals: Mane 7′, Salah 68′, Firmino 90′
Jurgen Klopp’s side capped off an excellent five days by earning another important three points in the final push for a top-four spot.
Sadio Mane got the Reds off to a dream start converting on the rebound after just seven minutes, with Klopp’s side deservedly going in ahead at half-time.
The dominance continued and that man Mohamed Salah doubled the lead with a superb improvised header into the far corner, before Roberto Firmino wrapped up victory in the final minute with a clever finish.
The Reds now sit on the cusp of completing successive top-four finishes for the first time since 2009, which would be a very impressive achievement in what is turning into a memorable campaign.
Here’s how supporters reacted to the win across social media and on our forums.

Salah, Firmino & Mané – The best front three in world football. GOALS, GOALS, GOALS! #LFC ???

just the seventh game this season where Mané, Salah, and Firmino have all scored.

“All of our front 3 score in another game. That’s one major reason why we are such a force.”
– Danny on the forums.
Mohamed Salah – 39
Roberto Firmino – 24
Sadio Mané – 17
Eighty goals between them but your MCM thinks they’re not the best front three in the world.

This is the most balanced Liverpool team of my lifetime. Frightening going forward and solid at the back.
Being a Liverpool fan over the years, they have been mutually exclusive. Exciting times #LFC
