Liverpool delivered a commanding performance against Bournemouth, securing a dominant victory that left fans buzzing. Here’s how each player fared in this high-octane Premier League encounter.
Liverpool Player Ratings
Alisson Becker (8/10): The Brazilian shot-stopper was rarely tested but made a crucial save when called upon, maintaining his usual composure.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (7.5/10): Solid defensively and a constant threat going forward, though his final delivery could have been sharper.
Virgil van Dijk (9/10): A rock at the back. Van Dijk’s presence was felt as he snuffed out Bournemouth’s attacks with ease.
Ibrahima Konaté (8/10): Partnered well with Van Dijk, showing both strength and intelligence in defence.
Andy Robertson (7.5/10): Energetic as ever, but his crossing wasn’t always on point. Still, a reliable performance.
Dominik Szoboszlai (8.5/10): The Hungarian maestro pulled the strings in midfield, combining creativity with relentless work rate.
Alexis Mac Allister (8/10): A composed display in the heart of midfield, dictating play and breaking up Bournemouth’s rhythm.
Curtis Jones (7/10): Worked hard but lacked the cutting edge in the final third. A decent shift nonetheless.
Mohamed Salah (9/10): A constant menace. Scored one and assisted another, proving why he’s Liverpool’s talisman.
Darwin Núñez (8.5/10): A handful for Bournemouth’s defence. His pace and movement caused chaos, and he deserved his goal.
Luis Díaz (7.5/10): Lively on the left but lacked end product. Still, his energy kept Bournemouth’s defence on their toes.
Bournemouth Player Ratings
Neto (6/10): Made a few saves but was let down by his defence. Couldn’t do much about Liverpool’s goals.
Max Aarons (5/10): Struggled against Díaz and Robertson. A tough afternoon for the right-back.
Illia Zabarnyi (4.5/10): Overwhelmed by Liverpool’s attack. Looked shaky throughout.
Marcos Senesi (5/10): Similarly struggled to contain Núñez and Salah. A day to forget.
Milos Kerkez (5.5/10): Tried to get forward but was often caught out defensively.
Ryan Christie (6/10): Worked hard but was outclassed in midfield. Limited impact.
Philip Billing (5.5/10): Anonymous for large parts. Failed to impose himself.
Joe Rothwell (6/10): Showed glimpses of quality but couldn’t influence the game.
Justin Kluivert (5/10): Struggled to make an impact before being substituted.
Dominic Solanke (6.5/10): Bournemouth’s brightest spark. Tested Alisson but lacked support.
Jaidon Anthony (5/10): Isolated for most of the game. A frustrating outing.
Final Thoughts
Liverpool’s superiority was evident, with key players stepping up when it mattered. Bournemouth, meanwhile, will need to regroup quickly after this heavy defeat.
