Bournemouth 0-4 Liverpool: Mohamed Salah hat-trick sends Liverpool top of Premier League

Mohamed Salah scored a hat-trick as Liverpool went to the top of the Premier League, for a few hours at least, with a 4-0 win at Bournemouth.
Having not scored in three games, Salah gave Liverpool a controversial lead (25), converting from close range having been in an offside position as Asmir Begovic fumbled from Roberto Firmino's effort.
But there was nothing contentious about Salah's second (48), slotting into the far corner after Steve Cook had handed the ball to Liverpool high up the pitch, and Cook's day got worse as he put through his own net for the third (68).

Salah then got his third, rounding Begovic twice to coolly slot home (77), and the result leaves Liverpool top of the Premier League by a point ahead of Manchester City, who face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge at 5.30pm on Saturday.
The win also means Liverpool matched their record of 17 Premier League games unbeaten, set in 2008.
Despite Liverpool dominating the early possession, Bournemouth forced Alisson into the first save as David Brooks saw his shot from a tight angle beaten away at the near post.
But Liverpool took the lead on 26 minutes as Firmino's dipping half-volley from the edge of the box proved too hot for Begovic to handle, squirming out for Salah to convert from close range. However, replays showed Salah was fractionally offside from Firmino's shot.
