short ball creating some space here as

play02:29

he gets that ball backat look at the uh

play02:31

two players running towards that near

play02:33

post it's a really good ball in just a

play02:36

little bit too far away from salanki and

play02:39

cver I think it was who was running in

play02:40

towards that uh near post somehow don't

play02:43

seem appropriate in these conditions

play02:45

this is mallister and the goalkeeper

play02:48

always able to cover his post well the

play02:50

conditions do lend themselves to that

play02:52

sort of effort from quite a long range

play02:55

out he's not closed down mallister he's

play02:58

very talented just trying to a cut

play03:00

across the ball

play03:01

Gomez Elliot

play03:04

Again Bradley with

play03:07

time and canate it was just beyond him

play03:11

it's been given as a

play03:13

corner well that was an inviting ball in

play03:15

wasn't it by Bradley Harvey Elliot just

play03:18

setting him up nicely he's got plenty of

play03:19

time to set the ball in front of him and

play03:22

just again bending into that far

play03:25

[Applause]

play03:27

post for Nunes and canate

play03:41

kick we saw a lovely ball from mallister

play03:44

there we just saw the final part of that

play03:46

pass to Elliot and then again Diaz

play03:49

trying to make that space down the side

play03:50

but well tracked by

play03:51

[Applause]

play03:54

meam comes back off Liverpool number

play03:58

seven

play04:02

well I think three or four Liverpool

play04:03

players definitely got the memo about

play04:05

shooting from

play04:07

distance slight contact that takes the

play04:10

sting out of it as

play04:12

it hits meam having a cut

play04:15

inside Christy was a Nifty

play04:18

[Applause]

play04:21

[Music]

play04:22

turn quite get hold of that Chris in the

play04:24

end did he but lovely little

play04:27

interplay trying to just bend it into

play04:29

that right hand

play04:30

side

play04:34

Sinister

play04:37

CS good

play04:39

chance chance of the half

play04:41

that it's Christie and he had salanki

play04:44

right behind him too

play04:47

tarir

play04:53

cook again this is excellent intensity

play04:56

and pressure Sinister does brilliantly

play04:59

here two Liverpool players coming out to

play05:00

meet

play05:01

him uses his Pace to get away from them

play05:04

and then good

play05:06

Vision cver again he's a threatening

play05:09

busy player isn't he

play05:15

cook mallister winning it for

play05:19

sha Diaz couldn't take it with him it's

play05:23

going to be a

play05:25

corner cver will be thanking his

play05:28

teammates there really caught by

play05:31

mallister here just took a little bit

play05:33

too long mallister steps in uses his

play05:35

body well releases jotter and then the

play05:38

ball again in between two Liverpool

play05:41

players three Premier League fixtures

play05:43

and three cup games in the month and

play05:45

here is

play05:46

Nunes and Darwin Nunes scores a goal

play05:50

that he and Liverpool have really need

play05:54

[Applause]

play05:58

it

play06:00

it's the mark of a team with staying

play06:03

[Music]

play06:04

power it's the mark of a team with

play06:10

durability and it's the mark of a team

play06:13

that will not be cowed by the presence

play06:15

of Manchester City yeah I said a moment

play06:18

of Genius might separate these teams and

play06:21

Liverpool have started this half really

play06:22

well it's a bit of a hope for ball

play06:23

forwards but as I said the wind just

play06:25

holding up slightly and this is genius

play06:27

genius play between simple football and

play06:30

great awareness Curtis Jones who's

play06:33

really

play06:34

maturing as a player feeding the ball to

play06:37

jotter It's All One Touch football isn't

play06:38

it controls with his chest One Touch

play06:41

there into jot One Touch to Nunes and

play06:43

one touch pass pass Netto it's a lovely

play06:47

really well constructed

play06:49

goal and Bournemouth couldn't get close

play06:51

enough the ball was moving too quickly

play06:52

for them to

play06:54

engage and it's Advantage Liverpool and

play06:57

the goal scored by the player that got

play06:58

the winner here for Liverpool in the

play07:00

League Cup in

play07:02

November

play07:05

cook clly

play07:07

HS deflection left Allison awkwardly

play07:10

stranded it's a corner that's an

play07:12

excellent response by Bournemouth

play07:14

and little bit fortunate here Liverpool

play07:16

that deflection could have gone anywhere

play07:18

again it's a cut back to the edge of the

play07:19

Box cver did really well to hold that

play07:22

position but as he strikes the ball here

play07:24

his standing foot just starts to go a

play07:26

little bit van djk using all of his

play07:28

experience just to protects as much of

play07:30

the goal as he

play07:31

can

play07:38

[Applause]

play07:39

nun standing one up for

play07:45

Bradley he h got his head in his hands

play07:47

there young Bradley was in a brilliant

play07:49

position and I think he just completely

play07:50

forgot how to head the

play07:52

football he does really well to dig that

play07:55

out and he's confused I think between

play07:57

trying to score and trying to hit it

play07:59

back across the

play08:00

goal this is The Challenge on J there's

play08:03

some there's some contact there

play08:06

but he's running into the player it's

play08:09

all happening quite quickly and it's

play08:10

very tight in

play08:14

[Applause]

play08:25

there nun support from

play08:28

gakpo here's

play08:30

sha and that is clean precise and

play08:35

emphatic from Dogo

play08:43

Shota and it sends a message that

play08:46

however difficult the conditions

play08:48

Liverpool mean

play08:51

business and given

play08:53

how poor their standard to been in the

play08:56

last sort of 5 10 minutes Jurgen klopp

play08:58

wasn't happy with how they were playing

play09:00

and it's it's a scrappy stage in the

play09:02

game the ball never really looks like

play09:04

it's under control by anyone here but

play09:06

nun wins competes gets a little bit

play09:09

fortunate but then it's good quality

play09:11

good quality pass into

play09:15

jota from gakpo comes in off that left

play09:18

hand side just feeds him really nicely

play09:21

sets it up where he doesn't need to take

play09:22

a touch as soon as that Ball's play to

play09:25

jot the quality is that good that he

play09:28

doesn't have to do anything other than

play09:29

than think about where he's going to

play09:31

strike the ball and when he does that

play09:33

really

play09:35

well so than you leaving it for

play09:39

Christie Gren

play09:41

back gakpo says to Nunes chase

play09:46

that now the pursuit is on in the middle

play09:48

for position of Maximum

play09:53

opportunity Connor Bradley Dio zota

play09:57

second time

play10:05

3-0 wrapped up

play10:07

nle by J for Liverpool who are heading

play10:11

Five Points clear at the

play10:16

summit yeah I certainly don't think

play10:18

Bournemouth deserve to be three

play10:20

down and doo jot there was a lovely

play10:24

finish but the Mis kick before fell

play10:26

really kindly for him but again it's

play10:29

that efficiency good decisions they win

play10:32

the ball break through bom Miss Midfield

play10:34

that pass there is excellent by gakpo

play10:36

into

play10:38

the path of uh Nunes and then he One

play10:41

Touch

play10:42

around or down the side of the pitch not

play10:45

collected in the first instance and

play10:47

there that's where jot gets very

play10:50

fortunate but he reacts really quickly

play10:52

to his own Mis

play10:54

kick he sees it first to react and just

play10:58

drive it into the uh into the far

play11:04

corner it's Alex Scott who's come off

play11:07

worse as J Dives in for that ball Scott

play11:12

tried to block him but has hurt himself

play11:14

in the process back up on his feet

play11:15

though

play11:15

[Applause]

play11:22

now

play11:25

graen

play11:27

GTO

play11:34

Gomez and

play11:38

nun he matches J with a

play11:42

brace and Liverpool now are doing this

play11:45

with a bit of style and

play11:47

[Applause]

play11:52

Swagger to turn in four goals I was

play11:55

saying it won't be a particularly

play11:56

memorable game maybe it will

play12:00

be that's a brilliant

play12:05

finish again mallister just recycling

play12:08

the ball from left to right out to Gomez

play12:11

on that right hand side he's moved out

play12:13

there since Beck came on the young left

play12:15

back

play12:16

and it's a slightly unusual finish by

play12:19

nun it's a delightful ball in it's

play12:22

absolutely perfect and

play12:24

he just makes contact with it doesn't he

play12:27

redirects it gowood with the outside of

play12:29

his foot and hits the deck very

play12:31

nonchalant in terms of finish

play12:38

and Scot tracking

play12:42

back Gordon involving himself and

play12:44

billing is forced into a hurried

play12:46

clearance which is the Final Act of what

play12:48

in the end will be shown in the history

play12:51

books as a pretty one-sided game

play12:52

Liverpool winning by four goals to nil

play12:55

to go Five Points clear at the top

play12:59

thanks to a pair of goals from nun and a

play13:02

pair also from Diego

play13:05

Zan your concluding thoughts on this

play13:07

ground no I think for anyone supporting

play13:10

Liverpool and particularly Jurgen klopp

play13:13

he's going to be delighted with that cuz

play13:15

this was a tough tough fixture given the

play13:18

form of Bournemouth and the way they

play13:19

play

play13:23

here yes bournemouth's home record of

play13:26

late has been more than solid but

play13:29

they've been picked apart in the second

play13:30

half here by an impressive

play13:33

Liverpool for whom it is a job

play13:35

particularly well done in very testing
