Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal survived a scare to grind out a win over Huddersfield Town to boost their hopes of finishing inside the top four.
The Gunners raced into a 2-0 lead thanks to Alex Iwobi and Alexandre Lacazette.
But Town responded well, but their goal came too late to provide more pressure in pursuit of a point, with Sead Kolasinac putting through his own net in stoppage time.
Relive the action as it happened above.
GOAL! Liverpool 3-0 Bournemouth (Salah 48')
Game. Set. Match. Salah is played in by the brilliant Firmino, who feigns a shot and plays it into the path of the Egyptian, who finishes into the corner.

The hosts are turning on the style and it could so easily be 4-0, but Mane, who opened the scoring, heads Wijnaldum's cross just wide.

Change for Arsenal, with Lucas Torreira being replaced by Mohamed Elneny.

One Liverppol player for another, as Dominic Solanke replaces Jordan Ibe.

And the substitute nearly makes an instant impact.
Elneny tries to meet Iwobi's cross but is prevented from doing so by Lacazette and the chance goes.
