Liverpool

Simon Mignolet - 6/10

The Liverpool goalkeeper was rarely tested and was beaten by the one good chance Bournemouth had but he still went home with a clean sheet.

Joe Gomez - 6.5/10

His ability to play as a central defender is proving to be useful as he sometimes drops back and helps the two central defenders. He still isn't the most convincing going forward but has proved to be very useful in the right-back role deputising for Nathaniel Clyne.

Dejan Lovren - 7.5/10

He didn't do much wrong defensively but his luck was summed up when a foul was awarded against him despite winning the ball back. However, he scored the important second goal for Liverpool thanks to his good anticipation.

Ragnar Klavan - 6.5/10

The Estonian continues to put in good performances silently and played some good passes out wide to start the attack quickly.

Andrew Robertson - 7.5/10

After two below par games following the injury to Alberto Moreno, Robertson finally found his rhythm with a terrific performance. He picked up the assist for Coutinho's goal and was equally good defensively.

Jordan Henderson - 7/10

Henderson has drawn in a lot of criticism this season but today he was in fine form, distributing the ball around, shielding his defence and making some good forward runs.

Georginio Wijnaldum - 6.5/10

He didn't have a bad game by any means but Wijnaldum wasn't the most impressive player for Liverpool against Bournemouth. He has clearly played more than any other central midfielder has for Liverpool and that seems to be taking a toll on him.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - 8/10

Liverpool's most recent acquisition seems to be growing in confidence with each passing game and had one of his best games for the club today. He picked up the assist for Salah's goal, made four key passes and three interceptions. Klopp will have a hard time deciding whom to pick and whom to drop against Arsenal.

Philippe Coutinho - 9/10

The little Brazilian was at his best today and scored the opener for Liverpool by dancing past several Bournemouth players before placing the ball past a helpless Begovic. He also assisted Firmino's goal and could have added one more assist to his name if Salah finished better.

Mohamed Salah - 8/10

It looked like Salah was going to have one of those games where he kept popping up in the right areas only to miss the chances but he eventually scored his 20th goal of the season in brilliant individual fashion.

Roberto Firmino - 8.5/10

The Brazilian sacrifices so much for the team's benefit and is often overlooked but he came away with the assist for Lovren's goal and a goal for himself before being subbed off.

Substitutes

Adam Lallana - 5/10

Clearly needs more time to get back to his best and picked up a rather unnecessary yellow card minutes after he came on.

Dominic Solanke - 6/10

In the few minutes he was on the pitch, he once again showed glimpses of his brilliant movement.

Danny Ings - N/A

Had very little time to do any damage but he could have scored with his first involvement only to find the side netting.
