What happened. Alexander Isak scored the only goal just after the hour mark, latching onto Cody Gakpo's cross via a slight nick off Florian Wirtz, to give Liverpool a 1-0 win at Bournemouth. The Cherries dominated large parts but were denied by Alisson's save from Evanilson.

• Liverpool struggled in the first half, with Jamie Carragher criticising their lethargic display.
• Bournemouth remain winless under Marco Rose in the league.
• Liverpool move to sixth; Bournemouth sit 17th on equal points with Coventry.

“Iraola probably cannot believe how lethargic Liverpool look.”

— Jamie Carragher

Liverpool head into the international break in sixth place, while Bournemouth are 17th and still without a league win under Marco Rose.
