Liverpool won 4-0 over Bournemouth to extend their Premier League lead. Their league win streak now stands at 14 games. Liverpool settled in the second half after a tense first. Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez scored twice. Nunez scored well in the 49th minute. Jota then ruled. Two goals in the 70th and 79th minutes put Bournemouth out of reach. In extra time, Nunez's second goal won it. At 21 games and 48 points, Liverpool leads their nearest rival by five. Aston Villa, Arsenal, and Manchester City all have 43 points, but City leads by a game. Bournemouth is 12th with 25 points. The first-half performance disappointed Jurgen Klopp, but the second-half performance pleased him. Liverpool excelled without top scorer Mohamed Salah.
Klopp changed the way his team played in the second half. One change was to move Nunez to a more central position. Things got better right away after these changes. Cody Gakpo and Curtis Jones set the goals for Jota. Joe Gomez set up Nunez's second goal. He was the first player for a Premier League club this season to score 10 goals and set up 10 others across all competitions. Nunez played really well.
The fact that Liverpool beat Bournemouth showed how good they are at attacking and how adaptable they are as a team. The race for the title is all theirs because they haven't lost in a while and are five points ahead at the top of the table.
