Football: Liverpool cruise against Bournemouth ahead of Champions League test

BOURNEMOUTH, United Kingdom - Jurgen Klopp could hardly have asked for more as his Liverpool side eased their way to a comfortable 3-0 win at Bournemouth ahead of Tuesday's decisive Champions League visit to RB Salzburg.

It was the ideal preparation for the visit to Austria, where Liverpool need a point to guarantee their progress into the Champions League knockout stages. The forward provided an assist for Keita - impressive on his first Premier League start of the season - and tormented Bournemouth throughout.That all changed 10 minutes before the interval when the balance of the game shifted over the course of a minute, and ensured Liverpool could sign off their domestic duties in style.

Jordan Henderson delivered a long ball from deep inside his own half into the path of Oxlade-Chamberlain, who had surged forward into the space between centre-back Chris Mepham and right-back Simon Francis, and the England international directed the ball past Aaron Ramsdale with a controlled volley. And Liverpool took full advantage, adding the second a minute before the break after a clever exchange between Salah and Keita.
