Liverpool comfortably defeated Bournemouth 3-0 to extend their lead on top of the English Premier League (EPL) table ahead of second-place Leicester City by 11 points.

They are currently sitting on 46 points and

are strong favourites after only 16 games in the competition to win it all.

‘The Reds’ secured their victory away

against Bournemouth, which had key injuries to Nathan Ake who suffered a

hamstring complication just after the half hour mark and Callum Wilson.

Liverpool took the lead with a goal by Alex

Oxlade-Chamberlain in the 35th minute. The next two goals were scored by Neita

Keita (in the 44th) and forward Mohammad Salah (54th).

Bournemouth picked up their second injury

in Wilson, who limped off the pitch, adding to their fifth consecutive loss.

Liverpool’s manager Jurgen Klopp released

this statement after their victory, “The boys made a lot of good decisions and

that’s why it was a comfortable win, maybe more than we would have expected

before the game, but Bournemouth were in a difficult situation, losing two key

players, and then you get a feeling that it’s not a Bournemouth day.”

“But we scored wonderful goals, had other

big chances and the result is most important, but the performance was really

good as well, especially in the second half when we were really professional

and assured,” Klopp continued.

“That’s what we have to be in the moment

and it’s not about being constantly exciting, it’s about doing the right stuff.

There were not a lot of difficult moments to defend, which is good and very

important so nearly perfect day,” he said.

Liverpool last won the top English league

in the 1989/90 season under Kenny Dalglish.
