Liverpool tightened their grip on the Premier League title race with a clinical 2-0 victory over a determined Bournemouth side at the Vitality Stadium. The win extends the Reds’ lead at the top to nine points, piling the pressure on chasing rivals Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, who are now joint-second after Forest’s shocking 7-0 thrashing of Brighton earlier in the day.

Liverpool needed to respond after Forest’s emphatic win, and they did just that, led by their talisman Mohamed Salah.

The breakthrough came in the first half when Cody Gakpo was tripped inside the box, leaving Salah to step up and bury his 20th league goal of the season from the penalty spot.

The Egyptian wasn’t done yet. In the second half, he produced a moment of brilliance, curling in a sublime second goal to seal the victory for Jürgen Klopp’s men.

Bournemouth’s Brave Fight Ends in Frustration

Despite the scoreline, Bournemouth put up a strong fight. The Cherries hit the woodwork twice, had a goal disallowed, and Justin Kluivert shockingly missed an open goal.

But Liverpool, as they have done all season, found a way to win—a hallmark of true champions.

Opinion: Are Liverpool Unstoppable?

Klopp’s side is now firmly in control of the title race, and with the squad firing on all cylinders, they seem almost unstoppable. Even when not at their best, they grind out wins—a trait that separates good teams from great ones.

But with Arsenal and Forest still within reach and Manchester City lurking with games in hand, can Liverpool hold their nerve in the final stretch?
