Liverpool got back to winning ways in the Premier League with a fantastic 3-0 win against Bournemouth at Anfield.

Luis Diaz impressed for Liverpool in the routine win, with the Colombian scoring two goals inside two first-half minutes.

Darwin Nunez completed the scoring before half-time, with Arne Slot and his players seemingly taking their foot off the gas in the second half.

The victory at Anfield takes Liverpool to 12 points from their five matches, with the Reds having lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest last time out.

One worry for Slot pre-game was undoubtedly the absence of Alisson, who was replaced by Caoimhin Kelleher due to injury.

But the Republic of Ireland star filled in expertly, producing several top saves on his way to an important clean sheet.

Kelleher did, however, divert his praise elsewhere, telling LFCTV GO how impressed he has been with Ryan Gravenberch.

“He’s been amazing this season to be fair, he’s been world-class,” said Kelleher. “I’ve been really impressed and obviously all the Man of the Match awards he’s deserved them all because he’s been the best player.”

Gravenberch may have been fearing his role in the squad in the summer, with Liverpool having been chasing a new midfielder.

A deal was seemingly close for Martin Zubimendi, who would have undoubtedly been Slot’s starting number six had he joined.

But a move didn’t materialise, and it very much looks like Liverpool are better off with Gravenberch in their midfield given his displays this season.

The Liverpool fans even have a Gravenberch song, such have been his phenomenal performances under Slot so far, with Jurgen Klopp having brought him to Anfield last summer.

Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister have impressed in midfield, but the Netherlands star really has been on another level.
