On Saturday at 2:30 pm, the first round of the English Premier League's 16th round took place.
"Liverpool", showing great sporting form this season, continues to prove that they will be the biggest competition for the "Manchester City" team this season. Led by Mohamed Salah, the "Reds" left no hopes for the "Bournemouth" team with a score of 4:0.
The match started off quite evenly - both teams were looking for their chances to score. The first to find it were the "Liverpool" players, with Mohamed Salah scoring accurately from a comfortable situation.
In the second half, "Bournemouth" tried to get back into the game, but their defensive game started to crumble as they took more risks.
In the 48th minute, M. Salah scored his second goal in these matches, and in the 68th minute, Steve Cook killed his team's hopes by scoring an own goal.
The match ended symbolically - taking advantage of a defensive mistake, M. Salah escaped freely towards the opponents' goalkeeper, scored multiple times, and left the "Bournemouth" stadium with the first "hat-trick" of the season.
After the victory, "Liverpool" temporarily rose to the first position until the end of the "Man City" team's matches. The "Reds" now have 42 points.

"Bournemouth" 0 - 4 "Liverpool"
