• In the first match between the two teams this season, “Liverpool” celebrated a very convincing victory, crushing the opponent with 9:0. In addition, Liverpool was expecting this match, previously destroying the most principled opponent, Manchester United, 7-0.
• Failed to repeat the result in the second match of the season against the team from the lower part of the table. What’s more, Jurgen Klopp’s team failed to take advantage of opportunities in attack, suffering the eighth loss of the season (0:1).
• Bournemouth only had five shots on goal and two of those shots hit the target. That was enough to be able to use one of the options. In the 28th minute of the match, Philip Billings scored the sixth goal of the season. Previously, in three seasons, the player had scored only three goals, and this season he managed to double this number.
• In the second half, Mohamed Salah failed to realize a penalty kick, which would have allowed “Liverpool” to draw. After reviewing the VAR video, the referee called the match pendant lights for handballing the home team player in the penalty area, but Salah didn’t realize it.
• This was an important win for the club as it allowed them to leave the relegation zone for the time being. “Bournemouth” won the sixth victory of the season and with 24 points it is currently in 16th place. “Leeds United” and “Everton” in the relegation zone have only two points less, while “Southampton” has three.
• Liverpool’s streak of five unbeaten games ended with the loss. The last defeat the club previously experienced was against “Wanderers” on February 4 of this year (0:3). Four wins and one draw followed later.
• So far, the loss has not made it fall lower in the tournament table. “Liverpool” is still fifth with 42 points. “Newcastle”, which is in the sixth position, has only one point less.
