“Another attacking masterclass,” “Clean sheet at last” – Fans react to 3-0 win at Bournemouth

Liverpool cruised to a 3-0 win at Bournemouth, and fans were delighted as a rare clean sheet and another three points were collected.

Bournemouth 0-3 Liverpool

Premier League, Dean Court
December 7, 2019

Goals: Oxlade-Chamberlain 35’, Keita 44’, Salah 54′


The Reds made the trip to the south coast to face a Bournemouth outfit without a win in their last four, polarising fortunes to a Liverpool side on a run of six successive league victories.

A record which then became seven as Jurgen Klopp’s side turned on the style in the latter stages of the first half with two sumptuous goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita.

The latter then repaid Mohamed Salah for his stunning back-heel assist as the Egyptian found the corner of the net to hand Liverpool a commanding lead with over a third of the game remaining.

Liverpool’s dominance on and off the ball paved the way for a memorable moment for Curtis Jones as he made his Premier League bow late in the piece as

The result secures the Reds’ 15th win of the season and stretches their lead atop of the table to 11 points with Leicester yet to play.

Here’s how supporters reacted to the result on Twitter, Facebook and This Is Anfield’s forums.

 

It was a slow start, but the Reds’ avenue to goal in the first 45 left fans in awe …

“That nice run between the lines, and that AMAZING pass from Salah, and the goal itself is simple enough. Art!”

Lovren’s suspected injury, meanwhile, left many concerned but Gomez remained the silver lining…

And Gomez gets his chance. Nice to have four quality CB’s. Worrying that two are already injured and it’s still early in Dec.”

“Not how I would have wanted Gomez to get his chance as center back, but I do think this is our best partnership.”

“33 games unbeaten. Unbelievable. Clean sheet. Naby with a goal and assist with plenty of room for improvement. 14 points ahead of City. We are going to win the league.

Played some lovely, proper footy. Big Virg was boss, Hendo doing an Alonso impersonation. Just how good are we?
