Liverpool 2 Bournemouth 1: Salah and Mane cancel out Wilson’s shock opener as Reds ends losing run

LIVERPOOL returned to winning ways after coming from behind to beat Bournemouth at Anfield, extending their gap at the top of the Premier League to 25 points.

Callum Wilson gave the visitors a shock early lead, tapping in Jefferson Lerma’s cross.

Sadio Mane scored the winner for Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp’s side extend their lead at the top to 25 points

There was debate about whether VAR should have given a foul on Joe Gomez in the build-up but the video assistants decided there was not enough contact to warrant a free-kick.

Jurgen Klopp was unimpressed with the decision as he felt Gomez was pushed in the back.

It wasn’t long before Liverpool were back on level terms, Mohammed Salah finishing into the bottom corner to make it 1-1.

Salah’s 16th league goal of the season was soon followed up by Sadio Mane giving the league leaders the advantage.

Mane found himself with plenty of room after Virgil van Dijk’s through ball and the Senegalese international calmly slotted past Aaron Ramsdale in the Bournemouth goal.

Ryan Fraser nearly equalised for the Cherries but James Milner was quick to react and made an excellent goal-line clearance.

Roberto Firmino missed a great chance to kill the game off, blazing well over in added time of the second half.
