Third-placed Liverpool needed only seven minutes to take the lead when Sadio Mane beat Asmir Begovic from a rebound after his initial header had been saved by the visiting keeper. Bournemouth stayed in the game despite Liverpool's dominance but Salah made the points safe in the 69th minute when, with his back to goal, he glanced in Trent Alexander-Arnold's long pass with an astute header. In doing so Salah became only the third Liverpoolplayer to score 40 goals in all competitions in a single season -- joining Ian Rush, who managed it twice, and Roger Hunt. Victory lifted Liverpool three points above Tottenham Hotspur who were playing Manchester City later.
