Salah at the double as Liverpool extend lead with Bournemouth win

Liverpool tightened their grip on the Premier League title race with a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on 1 February 2025.

Mohamed Salah delivered once again, scoring both goals as Arne Slot's side moved nine points clear at the top of the table.

The Reds arrived on the south coast eager to bounce back from their recent Champions League setback against PSV Eindhoven. Under Slot, Liverpool have been relentless in their pursuit of domestic glory, and this result underlined their intent.

Bournemouth, led by Andoni Iraola, had been in impressive form, going unbeaten since late November and climbing to seventh in the standings. Their recent performances included convincing wins against strong opposition, making this encounter a significant test for Liverpool.

Salah opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Cody Gakpo was brought down by Bournemouth captain Lewis Cook. The Egyptian made no mistake, registering his 20th league goal of the season. Despite Bournemouth's spirited response, with Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert testing Liverpool's defence, they struggled to find a breakthrough. Marcus Tavernier came closest, striking the post, but the home side lacked the cutting edge to capitalise on their chances.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's early injury forced Slot into a tactical reshuffle, but Liverpool's squad depth ensured they remained in control. Darwin Núñez was among those introduced late on to maintain the visitors' attacking threat.

Salah struck again just before half-time, curling a sublime finish past Kepa Arrizabalaga for his 21st league goal of the season. From that point on, Liverpool managed the game efficiently, limiting Bournemouth's opportunities and seeing out the result with minimal trouble.

The final whistle confirmed another crucial win for Liverpool, strengthening their position at the summit. With 53 points now on the board, they remain firm title favourites, while Bournemouth, despite the defeat, remain in contention for European qualification.
