Liverpool 3-0 Bournemouth: Reds return to the top of the Premier League as Sadio Mane, Georginio Wijnaldum and Mohamed Salah strike at Anfield

Sadio Mane headed Liverpool into the lead in the 24th minute - his fourth in his last four matches
Georginio Wijnaldum doubled the advantage with a stunning lob that cemented Liverpool's ascendancy
Mohamed Salah scored early in the second half, converting after a sublime Roberto Firmino back-heel 
It was Roberto Firmino’s back heel that told you the swagger was back. Obviously the finish was from Mohamed Salah and that was more decisive. But it was the back heel which made it and indicated that some of the old synchronicity had returned.

Firmino is a centre forward who can be outstanding without scoring and this was one of those afternoons. And this was the moment was when his all-round understanding and anticipation of his team-mates came close to telepathy

The move to play in the Brazilian had also been a thing of beauty, Sadio Mane finding Naby Keita whose long range pass was perfectly weighted. And that in itself was an improvement on recent games. This was Jürgen Klopp hitting all the right notes of his heavy metal football: controlled yet rapid changes of tempo to dislocate the opposition.
