Bournemouth v Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Jota and Nunez both score twice

Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota claimed second-half doubles as Premier League leaders Liverpool moved five points clear with a crushing 4-0 victory away to Bournemouth.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds initially struggled to create at the Vitality Stadium in the absence of top scorer Mohamed Salah.

But Nunez broke the deadlock early in the second period and completed the scoring in added time following Jota’s quick-fire double.

Victory on a soggy south coast afternoon stretched Liverpool’s unbeaten run to 14 league fixtures as they fully capitalised on a weekend off for second-placed Manchester City.

In-form Bournemouth were competitive for large parts of a frenetic encounter but rarely threatened en route to only their second defeat in nine games.

Here are the four Liverpool goals from today’s game. A convincing win in the end.

A comprehensive win for Liverpool in the end. It was goalless at half-time but they were sublime after the break as Nunez and Jota scored twice apiece. With Salah away at Afcon, having two of their other forwards grab doubles will be a welcome sight for Jurgen Klopp.

The title charge continues and they’re five points clear at the top.

90+6 mins: Nunez gets yellow-carded as he blindsides Moore and clatters into him. The Uruguayan smiles and offers Moore a hand of apology. That booking will hardly ruin his day after two goals in a 4-0 win

We will have one more goal in this game and a second for Darwin Nunez!

He’s not always the most clinical but it’s two lovely finishes from Liverpool’s No 9. Gomez lofts a ball into the box from out on the right touchline, midway in the Bournemouth half, and Nunez brings it down about seven yards out before flicking it into the corner past Neto.

His 10th goal of the campaign and a really nice one.

90 mins: Eight minutes of added time. Jota will be eyeing up a hat-trick, otherwise both teams probably just want to reach the full-time whistle with no more injuries.

89 mins: Huge chance for Bournemouth to nick a goal back! Brooks slips clear of the defence and is through one on one. Allison quickly off his line and Brooks skews his shot wide, trying to curl it round the Liverpool stopper.

86 mins: Ah, this is bad news for Bournemouth. Max Aarons pulls up injured as he chases the ball. He goes down and looks resigned to his fate - you’d guess his hamstring has gone.

After a while, he gets up and is helped off the field by the physio. That will be his game up but as the Cherries have already made all five subs, they’ll finish the match with 10 men.

Diogo Jota’s second goal, and Liverpool’s third, came courtesy of another fine finish despite the initial mis-kick.

82 mins: Liverpool into ‘rest our players up’ mode now that it’s 3-0. A couple of youngsters, Bobby Clark and Owen Beck, will get 15 minutes or so of action as Bradley and Jones go off.

Bournemouth also waving the white flag somewhat as Solanke is taken off and traditional target-man Kieffer Moore enters the fray. Philip Billing also on for Cook
