Liverpool climbed to the top of the Premier League this afternoon in some style. They overtook Manchester City at the summit with a 4-nil win at Bournemouth.
Mohamed Salah scored a hat-trick. The Egyptian struck in both halves at the Vitality Stadium to extend the Reds’ unbeaten start to the top-flight season to 16 games.
An own goal by Bournemouth captain Steve Cook made it 3-0 before Salah’s solo effort rounded off the scoring in a clinical away performance by Jürgen Klopp’s Reds.
