Before his journey to the south coast, DARWIN NUNEZ had been very unlucky.

The Uruguayan forward for Liverpool had only scored once in his previous 13 games, had several chances go awry, and had heard insulting shouts in the first half, including

Darnwin Nunez ended his goalless streak in front of goal with two goals. Diogo Jota made an impact as Liverpool won handily. The Reds presently lead the standings by five points.

But Nunez opened the score with a goal, his 100th of the game, and finished this crushing victory in injury time.  

Additionally, he was crucial to Diogo Jota’s brace, which helped Jurgen Klopp’s team win five straight games across all competitions and go five points clear of the Premier League standings.

Nunez must have been tempted to ask to play him every week in retaliation for his tormentors after he scored a spectacular winner here in the Carabao Cup in November.

Even though Manchester City still has a game to go before the leaders, Klopp’s team is looking strong. 

They lack the might of the unstoppable team that won the Premier League title the next year and the Champions League in 2019. 

But even with half of their first-choice starting lineup out of the game, they managed to defeat the Premier League’s best team without any trouble. 

A run of seven victories in nine games has changed Bournemouth’s season.

The change was so noticeable that Andoni Iraola, who was on the verge of being fired a few months prior, was hearing the home crowd sing his name nonstop. 

Dominic Solanke, a threat, was limited by Liverpool’s dominance in the match.

At a stadium where the Reds were defeated the previous season, Klopp gave Conor Bradley his league debut in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s absence. 

The first half had an air of a “calm before the storm” because neither team could find the game-winning pass in the final third and the predicted gale-force winds had not yet materialized. 

Liverpool held the Cherries back for an extended period of time thanks to a series of outstanding tackles earned by Alexis Mac Allister, who has developed into the holding role out of necessity this season. 

However, Liverpool’s judgment was consistently subpar. and more so than most Nunez’s.

Justin Kluivert gave Luis Diaz a late, hard challenge, but VAR didn’t seem to care and the Liverpool attacker was free to continue. 

Before the interval, Bournemouth began to establish a rhythm of attack, with Luis Sinisterra looking dangerous on the left. 

Furthermore, Ryan Christie denied his own teammate a clear opportunity when Kluivert delivered a low center on goal by advancing in front of the center forward and taking an air shot. 

It encapsulated the initial part. Nothing quite happened, but things kept coming close to happening.

Klopp left the game early in the second half, sitting in his dugout before the players had even emerged, and it appeared that his message from the dressing room had taken effect. 

Because Liverpool took the lead four minutes after the game resumed, thanks to a play that demonstrated the calmness and purpose they had lacked in the first half. 

With a deft crossfield pass, Ibrahima Konate found Curtis Jones, who slanted a pass for Diogo Jota to slide one for Nunez.

The Uruguayan, who is frequently a liability in front of goal, scored with style on his first attempt, slipping the ball past Neto and into the lower corner. 

With a roar, Nunez greeted the departing fans, and Klopp punched the air.

Soon after, Virgil Van Dijk deftly stopped a shot from Kluivert, and Jota had a strong penalty claim following an Illia Zabarnyi challenge.

As the guests began to establish their dominance, Neto made a good save to deny Bradley. 

After Lewis Cook was booked for fouling Bradley, Klopp and Pablo De La Torre, the fitness coach for Bournemouth, got into a heated argument.

Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch were brought on by Klopp, and Gakpo quickly contributed to Liverpool’s second goal. 

After Jota punted upfield, Nunez outmuscled his opponent Zabarnyi and set up Gakpo to feed Jota, who beat the keeper at his near post with a powerful shot past Neto. 

Another kick in the teeth for the home crowd came from Jota’s second. 

Nunez identified Bradley, and the boy fed the Portuguese, causing Cherries supporters to chuckle after his first poorly executed shot.

However, the ball looped back to Jota, who hammered it home, freezing Lewis Cook and Lloyd Kelly. 

Late in the game, Klopp was forced to substitute Jones due to injury, and David Brooks, who had been freed by Christie, failed to score a late chance for the home team.

However, Joe Gomez sent in a clever cross from the right in injury time, and Nunez nicked it in at the far post with a magnificent outside-of-the-boot finish.
