Bournemouth v Liverpool

No side had recorded more shots on target in the Premier League than Bournemouth (24) heading into this match, and that statistic perfectly highlights the threat they'll continue to pose Liverpool. The Cherries have already come agonisingly close to opening the scoring through Evanilson, and you'd be brave to bet against them carving out more opportunities as the game rolls on.

After going close with an earlier free-kick, this opportunity is a little further out for Szoboszlai. The Hungarian still manages to generate remarkable dip and movement on the strike, before it swerves agonisingly wide of the left-hand post.

CHANCE! Liverpool have their first effort on target, and suddenly this contest is beginning to spring into life. Barcola produces a moment of quality to dart inside onto his right foot before firing towards goal, but Petrovic reacts well and keeps it out with an unorthodox save using his legs. As the rebound drops into a crowded penalty area, Bournemouth desperately scramble to clear their lines, but the danger isn't over yet. Mac Allister is then caught from behind by an overzealous Evanilson, handing Liverpool a free-kick in a very dangerous position.

Wirtz picks up possession after Liverpool win the ball back high up the pitch, but the German looks a little too eager to force the issue. Spotting Isak's run, he attempts an ambitious pass with his left foot, only to put far too much weight on it. The ball skids harmlessly out of play and the move fizzles out.

Bournemouth captain Smith looks to burst down the right flank, but Kerkez rather cynically steps across his path and brings the move to a halt. The referee is quick to spot the infringement and awards a free-kick to the hosts. It's a welcome opportunity for the Cherries to catch their breath after weathering a sustained spell of Liverpool pressure.

The Reds continue to try and stamp some authority on this one, and former Cherries defender Kerkez slips in a neat ball in behind for Barcola to pick up. As the Frenchman reaches the byline and looks to lay it across goal, the flag goes up for offside, which seemed a tight call, with Truffert hanging back for Bournemouth and perhaps just playing the summer signing onside.
