Alexander Isak a marqué le but de la victoire alors que Liverpool a battu Bournemouth 1-0 lors du retour d’Andoni Iraola au Vitality Stadium. Un match tendu s’est décidé juste avant l’heure de jeu, lorsqu’Isak a conclu une passe de Cody Gakpo, avec une légère déviation de Florian Wirtz.

Liverpool a arraché la victoire lors d’une journée où l’équipe a struggled during large parts, with Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher criticising their first-half display, as the Cherries dominated. “Iraola probably cannot believe how lethargic Liverpool look,” he said on co-commentary duty.

Mais Bournemouth lacked the clinical touch as they remain winless under Marco Rose in the league. Their best chance fell to Evanilson, whose near-post flick from Marcus Tavernier's cross was kept out brilliantly by Alisson. The victory is Liverpool's second in the league this season as they go into the international break in sixth place. Bournemouth, meanwhile, sit level on points with Coventry in 17th place.
