AFC Bournemouth v Liverpool - Premier League
Chamberlain delivered a man of the match performance

The former Arsenal man has had a slow start to life at Merseyside but slowly but surely, he's settling in well. Chamberlain was adjudged as the man of the match against Bournemouth with the youngster impressing at great lengths from his favoured midfield role.

With Adam Lallana back in the fray, Chamberlain needed a big influencing display to convince Jurgen Klopp and he did exactly that! Along with Coutinho, he had the most key passes (4) in the match, made three interceptions and gained possession a staggering 11 times.

He also assisted Salah's goal and had a passing accuracy of 83%. His eagerness to make things happen is what made him win the player of the match accolade.

After the game, in a post-match interview alongside Philippe Coutinho, the latter was asked about FC Barcelona's interest. Chamberlain rushed to his teammate's defence and highlighted Coutinho's professionalism.

He pointed out the unfairness of the question and was widely appreciated for his stance by the Liverpool supporters. Looks like Chamberlain is finally winning it, on and off the field!
