Liverpool won their fifth round match in the English Premier League, beating Bournemouth 3-0 at home. The hero of the match was two-goal Luis Díaz, the third goal was also added in the first half by Darwin Núñez.

- They scored three goals in both
- Bournemouth fall for the second time in a row
The visitors started well, taking the lead after just five minutes. But the head referee, after consulting the video referee, eventually disallowed that early goal. The goal was then ruined by an offside.
Liverpool didn’t threaten properly until the 15th minute. But Luis Díaz first sent in a too-weak attempt that had no potential for success. But that changed as the game progressed.
The fast Colombian then missed another interesting opportunity. But in the 27th minute he came through for the third time and opened the scoring. And just two minutes later, he scored a second time with a ground shot.
And in the 37th minute, the game was virtually decided when Darwin Núñez made it 3:0 with the help of the bar. Egyptian Mohamed Salah could have also made his mark, but his shot was dealt with by goalkeeper Kepa.
Liverpool went into the cabins with a 3:0 lead after an unequivocal first half. After the change of sides, it started a bit slow, in the 56th minute Ryan Gravenberch tried a long-range shot, but failed.
Overall, the game lost pace after the change of sides, which was evident from the result. It wasn’t until the 76th minute that the score could have been changed, but Federico Chiesa only hit the bar. Luis Sinisterra was unlucky on the other side as well when he headed into the crossbar.
That was the last decent chance of the game and the Reds responded to their home defeat in the last round with a win. After five games, they are on 12 points gained, while Bournemouth have only five.
