Darwin Nunez has scored a wonderful goal on his weaker foot as Liverpool made it 3-0 against Bournemouth.
After their loss to Nottingham Forest last weekend, Liverpool rebounded with a 3-1 Champions League victory over AC Milan and aimed to regain form in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Arne Slot’s team faced Bournemouth at Anfield but was initially shaken by an early goal from Antoine Semenyo, which was ultimately ruled offside.
Liverpool quickly took control, going up 2-0 thanks to two quick goals from Luis Diaz. Just before halftime, Darwin Nunez extended the lead to 3-0 with a stunning left-footed strike set up by Mohamed Salah.
On BBC Radio 5 Live, former England striker Chris Sutton remarked on Liverpool’s effectiveness in bypassing Bournemouth’s midfield, noting the strong connection between Nunez and Salah. He described Nunez’s goal as a beautiful curling shot, adding that Liverpool appeared to be cruising and could have scored even more.
Anita Asante, a former England defender, praised Nunez’s powerful shot into the top corner after cutting inside, highlighting Bournemouth’s struggles to cope with Liverpool’s quick transitions.
At halftime, Liverpool led 3-0, positioning them to rise to the top of the Premier League table ahead of Manchester City’s exciting matchup against Arsenal on Sunday.
