Liverpool edge closer to title with a comeback 2 -1 win against Bournemouth
March 8, 2020Having lost three of their past four games across all competitions, Liverpool’s Anfield home was not exactly in good spirits when Wilson tapped in Jefferson Lerma’s cross to give Bournemouth a ninth-minute lead.
Bournemouth, though, are a team who had lost their previous five league games against Liverpool by an aggregate score of 17-0, so banking on them keeping the leaders at bay was always a long shot.
Unfortunately for Eddie Howe, Bournemouth rather gifted Liverpool their goals. Salah scored his 70th Liverpool goal in his 100th league appearance after Jack Simpson carelessly lost the ball to Mane, and it was 2-1 before the break when the visitors gave up possession in midfield and Virgil van Dijk played Mane in to score.
It was not a vintage display, but it did give Liverpool a record 22nd top-flight home victory in a row and put them 25 points clear at the top. Bournemouth remain 18th, behind Watford on goal difference, the Hornets having lost 1-0 at Crystal Palace.
This is the baddest guy around town. Hook me up so that we can share some routine infor in the area.
