Liverpool make 'big statement' v. Bournemouth to go five points clear | Premier League | NBC Sports

EIGHT. COMFORTABLY MID-TABLE, 25 POINTS. WELCOME BACK INSIDE OUR STUDIO THIS SUNDAY. I’M REBECCA LOWE, THE TWO ROBBIES ALONGSIDE ME. STATEMENT MADE BY LIVERPOOL? >> BIG STATEMENT FOR ME. I THINK I SAID AT HALFTIME THAT WASN’T WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IN TERMS OF DOMINANCE FOR LIVERPOOL. WOW, THAT CHANGE IN THE SECOND HALF. WE TALKED ABOUT IT ALFTIME. THERE WAS A SWITCH OF THE FRONT THREE PLAYERS AND THEY WERE THE DIFFERENCE. THEY ADD THE QUALITY, COMBINATIONS, UNDERSTANDING, MOVEMENT. THEY ARE THE DIFFERENCE. JOTA NOW AND NUNEZ EACH ON SEVEN PREMIER LEAGUE GOALS EACH. MOHAMED SALAH

IS ON 14 GOALS. THAT ALONG WITH THE BACK FOUR, THE BEST IN THE DIVISION. THE DEFENSIVE RECORD ROUTE NOW, THEY ARE RIGHT IN TO WIN THE TITLE THIS YEAR. >> AGREE WITH THAT? >> ABSOLUTELY. I AM GOING TO GO WITH A DIFFERENT ANGLE. IT WAS A 4-0 WIN. I NEVER FELT IT WAS THAT COMFORTABLE. THAT’S A COMPLIMENT TO BOURNEMOUTH. DIFFICULT CONTINUES. MISSING A NUMBER OF STAR PLAYERS. THIS WAS A WIN FOR ATTITUDE AND APPLICATION. THIS WAS WIN TO GOING TO A DIFFICULT PLACE AND FINDING A WAY WITH EFFICIENCY, CLINICAL FINISHING, MORE CONTROL IN THE SECOND

HALF, BETTER FOOTBALL. I DON’T EVER FEEL IT WAS A GAME THEY COULD RELAX BECAUSE BOURNEMOUTH ARE A GOOD TEAM. AND THAT

WAS A MESSAGE, BY THE WAY, TO MANCHESTER CITY THAT THIS NEW LIVERPOOL TEAM STILL KNOW HOW TO FIGHT AND SCRAP. WIN IMPORTANT POINTS ON THE ROAD. >> DARWIN NUNEZ, HE FRUSTRATES LIVERPOOL FANS AT TIMES. THEY LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE NEVER GIVES UP AND HE IS ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND NOW HE IS ADDING THE GOALS. >> ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN, I KNOW HE — IN THE STUDIO A FEW WEEKS AGO, HE WAS SO FRUSTRATED

WITH HIM. I LIKE THAT HE IS ALWAYS THERE TO MAKE ERRORS. GOOD FINISHES TODAY. THERE IS A COUPLE OF MOMENTS IN THE GAME HE WORKED ALL THE WAY BACK TO HIS OWN GOAL LINE AREA TO MAKE DEFENSIVE BLOCKS AND CHALLENGES. HE HAS SOME ENGINE BY WAIT. I THINK HE ASSISTED ONE GOAL MAYBE. BUT JUST
