Plus: Still hope for Sheff Utd? Arsenal's goal issues exaggerated; Ivan Toney marks his return from his eight-month exile with a goal to help Brentford to a thrilling win over Nottingham Forest; Roy Hodgson deflects to the club’s decision-makers when asked about his future

Man City have Kevin De Bruyne back, Arsenal scored five the day before. Liverpool were set up for a tough night without Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold at in-form Bournemouth - but came through.

Doubles for Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez made up for Salah's absence. Assists for Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez from the right did the same for the absent Alexander-Arnold.

But as has been said all week, Liverpool's biggest asset is Jurgen Klopp. Moving Nunez more central from the "static" left-hand side for the second half proved the trick to unlock the Bournemouth defence. Bringing on Cody Gakpo brought the second goal - and from that point it was job done.
