First-half strikes from Sadio Mane and Divock Origi gave Jürgen Klopp’s side control of the contest at the break, but the hosts fought back after the interval.
A Callum Wilson penalty early in the second period first gave hope of a comeback for the Cherries, only for Emre Can’s delightful finish to restore a two-goal cushion.
But substitute Ryan Fraser scored one and then set up Steve Cook to slam a leveller beyond Loris Karius, before Nathan Ake forced home a fourth in stoppage-time.
The key points…
- Mane and Origi struck goals within two minutes in first half
- Wilson’s penalty halved Bournemouth deficit shortly after break
- Can curler put Liverpool two goals to the good again
- Fraser, Cook and Ake stunned the visitors late on
The team news…
Klopp made two changes to the starting line-up that began Liverpool’s previous Premier League game, with Lucas Leiva and Origi replacing Joel Matip and Philippe Coutinho – who were ruled out due to ankle injuries.
