Coutinho and Salah Shine for Liverpool, Lukaku Scores
Coutinho was the star man for Liverpool as they brushed aside Bournemouth in a 4-0 victory on Sunday evening. The Brazilian opened the scoring with a fine solo move before coolly finishing past the Bournemouth goalkeeper in the 20th minute. Lovren headed home the second from a Firminho’s flick while Sallah scored a third from a difficult angle to put Liverpool in the driving seat before half-time. Firminho scored from a header earlier in the second half to complete a four goal route, taking them above Arsenal who beat Newcastle to the forth position with a point difference.
