Richard Keys has said that the penalty that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool earned in the first half against Bournemouth at Anfield in the Premier League game on Saturday afternoon was a bad decision.
Liverpool have got the better of Bournemouth 3-1 at Anfield in the Premier League today.
It was the Merseyside club’s first league win of the season.
Liverpool had played out a 1-1 draw with Chelsea away from home at Stamford Bridge in London in the Premier League last weekend.
Jurgen Klopp’s side were the better team against the Cherries on Saturday afternoon.
Luis Diaz opened the scoring for Liverpool in the 27th minute.

And then Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah made it 2-0 on 36 minutes.
While Salah saw his penalty initially saved, the former Chelsea player made no mistake from the rebound.
Former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys has an issue with the penalty call.
The BeIN SPORT presenter does not think that Liverpool should have been awarded the penalty.
The Reds were given the spot kick after midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai was adjudged to have been brought down.
Keys has also said that Liverpool and Argentina international midfielder Alexis Mac Allister should not have been sent off in the second half.
Mac Allister, who joined Liverpool from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window, was shown a straight red card on 58 minutes.
The midfielder was adjudged to have made a high tackle on Ryan Christie.
