Darwin Nunez may have earned himself a reputation as one of the Premier League ’s most consistently unpredictable players. Nunez, who was involved in both of Jota’s goals, then bookended an outstanding second-half performance with another in added time as Jurgen Klopp’s team extended their gap at the top to five points. Until Nunez’s 49th-minute opener Liverpool struggled to break down Bournemouth in increasingly swirling conditions. That meant a league debutant in either defence - James Hill for the hosts and Conor Bradley for the visitors. It arrived after Nunez sent in a deep cross from the left that Bradley returned goalwards.
