Klopp unsure how people 'dare to judge' former Liverpool star over career choices

Liverpool moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 4-0 demolition of Bournemouth that extended their unbeaten league run to 14 games.

The visitors were frustrated in a cagey first half of few goalscoring chances but found a higher gear after the break with Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota both scoring twice.

Nunez made it 1-0 in the 49th minute after a slick passing move carved up Bournemouth’s defence and the influential Jota put the game out of reach of the hosts with two clinical finishes in the 70th and 79th minutes.

Uruguayan Nunez put the seal on a dominant Liverpool display with his second goal in stoppage time.

GOAL! Bournemouth 0-3 Liverpool (Jota 79’)

Diogo Jota with another superb finish and that’s game over for Liverpool!

Great work by Gravenbercha nd then Gakpo to get the ball out to Nunez wide on the left. His cross is too long but Bradley puts it back in the box to Jota who scuffs his first shot but then absolutely belts the ball into the far corner, beyond Neto, with his second attempt as the ball sits up nicely. Superb!

CHANCE! Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool

75 mins: Could Max Aarons shoot there? The Bournemouth full-back brings the ball down well in the opposition box, cuts inside a defender from the right and finds himself eight yards out but tries to square to Solanke.

Konate slides in to block the ball from getting to the in-form striker. Great defending. The ball was slightly between Aarons’ feet but surely a shot was still the better option?

Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool

73 mins: Bournemouth streaming forward now to try and get themselves in the game. Solanke gets a touch on a cross with a lunge in the box but can’t find the power and it rolls straight to Alisson.

A free-kick out on the left is then whipped in by Cook but Konate is strong to clear the ball.

GOAL! Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool (Jota 70’)

A second goal for Liverpool and it’s Diogo Jota with the sharp finish!

Nunez involved again as he outmuscles Zabarnyi outside the box, the ball falls to Gakpo who calmly slips in Jota on the right of the box and there’s not much room to squeeze the ball in at the near post but the Portuguese manages it with a powerful finish. A satisfying thwack as it hits the back of the net.

Another well-worked goal by Liverpool finished impressively.

Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool

63 mins: No one has been better at making effective subs in the Premier League this season than Jurgen Klopp. On 63 minutes, he makes a double change as Elliott and Diaz come off with Ryan Gravenberch and Cody Gakpo coming on.

A pair of Dutch internationals not a bad duo to bring on.

Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool

59 mins: Frustration growing for the Bournemouth players? Cook clumsily clatters into Bradley from behind and then makes sure the follow-through catches him as well. Gets a yellow card for his troubles.
