Luis Díaz sinks Bournemouth as Liverpool bounce back in style
Come the end of the season Arne Slot will be hoping he can laugh about last week’s defeat to Nottingham Forest. Since that pitiful performance, Liverpool have made light work of Milan in the Champions League and pummelled Bournemouth in a perfect response to the first setback of the Dutchman’s tenure.
Where Forest made Liverpool underperform with a disciplined display, Bournemouth allowed Ryan Gravenberch and his midfield colleagues to dictate the match and then offered up an opener that ended the contest. Luis Díaz took personal responsibility for causing a lot of the damage with two goals and Darwin Núñez, with a point to prove, added a third to banish the memories of seven days ago.
