Totally exposed for Bournemouth second, though.

Virgil van Dijk 6

Not overly comfortable on occasion early on but improved until being slow to react to cross for first Bournemouth goal.

Milos Kerkez 5

Struggled up against former team-mate Semenyo and much of Bournemouth’s joy came down his flank.

Kept at it throughout and important in helping the Reds come again after being pegged back.

Alexis Mac Allister 6

Pass found Ekitike for the opener but lack of match sharpness evident at times.

Subbed.

Mohamed Salah 6

Forced save from Petrovic early on from range but too many of his ambitious passes off radar before interval, then completely lost his way second half and inadvertent assist for Bournemouth leveller

Good finish for fourth, though.

Florian Wirtz 6

Tried to get Liverpool going creatively but far too often knocked off the ball first half and found physicality of Bournemouth difficult before stronger after half-time

Ended game up front before being subbed.

Cody Gakpo 7

A lot of effort and one good cross for Ekitike but ran down too many blind alleys first half before finding his range after that, not least with excellent goal for second.

Hugo Ekitike 8

Took his goal well after barging his way through Senesi and provided a focal point of the attack, laying on second for Gakpo

Subbed.

Wataru Endo (for Frimpong 60) 6

Didn’t look comfortable coming on a right-back and soon switched to central midfield, and could claim assist for fourth.

Andy Robertson (for Kerkez 60) 6

Introduced to loud reception but impact minimal.

Joe Gomez (for Ekitike 71) 6

First Premier League appearance of the calendar year.

Curtis Jones (for Mac Allister 71) 6

Brought on to add energy to midfield.

Federico Chiesa (for Wirtz 82) 8

Great finish for the important third and won a pressure-relieving free-kick a bit later too.
