Liverpool were at their destructive best against Bournemouth

Liverpool were in rampant form when they visited the Vitality Stadium to take on Eddie Howe's Bournemouth, who are now feeling the heat of their difficult and congested festive period fixture list. The trio of Philippe Coutinho, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino were involved in the thick of the action right from the start and grabbed a goal each on the night.

The Reds were simply unstoppable while going forward and took their chances in front of goal with aplomb. The result meant that Liverpool are now the first team in top-flight history to have won four consecutive away games by a margin of at least three goals.

In addition to the 4-0 thumping of Bournemouth last night, Liverpool beat West Ham United (4-1), Stoke City (3-0) and Brighton and Hove Albion (5-1) in their last four away games in the league.
