Though the Reds have become known for their high-pressing game over the past two seasons, tonight it was their passing that stood out.

They completed 850 passes in the game and maintained a decent 88% passing accuracy. The linkup play between the players was flawless and played a vital role in all of their three goals.

Keita had a great game in the midfield and was one of the visitors' standout players and had a pass accuracy of 94.7%, took 110 touches, attempted one dribble, and made three tackles and two interceptions.

Coming back to the passing extraordinaire that Liverpool displayed, the first goal resulted from an intelligent ball from the back by Henderson, almost similar to the one Origi scored against Everton in the midweek when Lovren lifted the ball over the defense for the Belgian to finish.

The second goal was all about Salah's immaculate skills with the ball and the deftest of backheels to find Keita free, having drawn three Bournemouth defenders to himself. Finally, the third goal was a result of a perfectly weighted ball for Salah that he only had to guide past Ramsdale.
