Liverpool 3-0 Bournemouth: 5 Talking Points, Premier League 2018/19

#1 Liverpool's front three get on the act against Bournemouth

Salah scored his 20th goal of the season (in all competitions)

Liverpool's revered front three got on the act after being frustrated by Leicester and West Ham. Salah and Mane got on the scoresheet against Bournemouth while the former scored his 20th goal of the season (in all competitions). Meanwhile, Firmino added another assist to his tally.

Roberto Firmino looked off color in Liverpool's games during the past week but was much better against Bournemouth. The Brazilian used his vast expanse of energy to help to regain possession and forced the Bournemouth midfielders to commit mistakes in important areas of the pitch. Despite some misplaces passes early in the game, Firmino grew as the game progressed.

He assisted Salah for the third goal after laying a backheel for the Egyptian to finish. Firmino created the most number of chances (5) in the game and also had an opportunity to get on the score sheet late on. Firmino also made four key passes during the game.

Mohamed Salah proved to be a constant menace for Diego Rico and made life difficult for the centre-backs by playing on their shoulders. The Egyptian scored Liverpool's third goal after slotting the ball past an onrushing Boruc. Salah was unlucky to have a second after one of his shots hit the crossbar, a few minutes after Liverpool's third goal.

Sadio Mane continued his goal scoring form and scored the opening goal, which gave Liverpool the liberty to approach the game in a more relaxed manner. As usual, his link up with Andy Robertson down the left was exquisite.

Liverpool's front three were outstanding against Bournemouth and would be expected to perform in top gear as tricky fixtures against Bayern Munich and Manchester United loom on the horizon.
