Liverpool have returned to the top of the Premier League table thanks to a comprehensive 3-0 win over Bournemouth in Saturday’s encounter at Anfield.

Alarm bells had begun ringing among some sections of the Reds fanbase after Manchester City retook top spot on Wednesday night with a 2-0 win at Everton.

However, a composed performance from Jurgen Klopp’s charges against the Cherries reaped dividends as they responded to their critics in the best possible way.

After a nervy opening which saw Bournemouth’s Ryan Fraser test Alisson Becker, Sadio Mane settled any creeping nerves on 24 minutes with a powerful header from James Milner’s cross.

Just 10 minutes later Liverpool had doubled their advantage as Georginio Wijnaldum, who had been suffering from illness prior to the game, sent a lob over Cherries stopper Artur Boruc and into the back of the net.

The cherry on top came not long after the restart in the second half when great combination play from Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino culminated in the ball worked to Mohamed Salah, who made no mistake from 10 yards.

After the game, Klopp celebrated emphatically, something which delights the Liverpool faithful every time as they can see just how much the team’s success means to him:
