As it happened: Bournemouth 0-4 Liverpool

Well the reds need to do just that. 

Two disappointing home draws against Everton and West Brom have knocked a bit of propulsion out of the red men.

A win today however and they will be able to move back into the top four ahead of a big pre-Christmas clash at Arsenal.

No Emre Can today due to his suspension for collecting too many yellow cards.

Early attacking intent from Gomez.

He sends one across the box but none of the reds attacked can reach it.

Liverpool looking for three points today to repair some of the damage of the last two games.

11' Nathan Ake picks up a yellow card for a foul on Roberto Firmino.

And from the free kick Coutinho HITS THE POST! And it squirms across the face of goal!

Close for the reds!

20' Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool!

And it's Phil Coutinho!  He had a brilliant run forward before slotting the ball in to the net - Robertson's run down the left wing had the defender in two minds and gave Coutinho plenty of space.

22' Good work from LFC's goalscorer as he remains in the hunt for his 20th of the season.

He reaches the ball just before a challenge comes in and gets the shot away but it's just too high.

26'  Here we go... from a Liverpool corner - Firmino loops the ball back from the back post and it's... 

Dejan Lovren who gets his head on it to make it 2-0!

Great work Bobby and a brave header from Lovren!

39' They thought they had got one back there.

Jermain Defoe sees his shot bounce back off the post.

The reds are ahead, deservedly by two goals, but Bournemouth have not given this up as a lost cause.

45' And there it is - Mo Salah with his 20th goal for Liverpool in all competitions!

Bournemouth 0-3 Liverpool

He gets the ball at the side of the area - turns the defender around, heading back towards the penalty spot turns and fires it in

So this isn't the first time Liverpool have been leading 3-0 at half time recently!

Will it go the way of Sevilla (3-3) or the way of Spartak Moscow (7-0) ?

Liverpool looking very strong and what a great way to mark your 20th goal for the reds for Mo Salah.

So far so good for the redmen!

49' The reds have started this second half on the front foot and looking for that 4th goal.

No sign of a different Bournemouth in this second half so far! Which is good!

56' In all the excitement we forgot to mention Bournemouth have now got through their subs

Charlie Daniels replaced by Steve Cook is their final change.

Wins the ball back with a great slide tackle and then powers forward.

He fires in the shot that smashes into the post.

Becoming a real part of this Liverpool way of playing is Alex.

66' Bournemouth 0-4 Liverpool

And it's Roberto Firmino!  From a throw-in Coutinho collects and then fizzes in an inswinging cross and Firmino gets his head on it to grab the goal.

Liverpool are taking all three points today.

71' Lallana comes on and it's a 20 minute rest for Mo Salah who goes off.

We'll put that down to match rustiness!!

Within 2 minutes of coming on Lallana goes into the book for a foul on Jordon Ibe!

76' Another little mini rest- this time Roberto Firmino heads off and on comes Dom Solanke.

86' Coutinho heads off and on comes Danny Ings

87' From his first touch he fires into the side netting.  

There's been rumours about a potential loan move in January but with a lot of games ahead maybe just maybe he can provide some support to the squad - especially when the reds find themselves 4-0 up in matches!

There's going to be 3 minutes of it

A big win for the reds 4-0 away at Bournemouth and they always looked like winning that game.

Fine performance from Coutinho and 4 separate goalscorers.  Even a clean sheet for Simon Mignolet!

Well done reds!
