What were the highlights of Liverpool's 4-0 victory over Bournemouth?
Mo Salah, the hat-trick hero for Liverpool in their 4-0 win over Bournemouth today.
Here are he and his captain James Milner with Greg Whelan.
Guys, very well done. James, top of the table, 4-0 win, that's not a bad way to celebrate your 500th Premier League game, is it?
No, the perfect way, I think. It wasn't our best performance of the season by any means, but we were efficient, got the job done, this guy was unbelievable, caused him all sorts of problems and took his goals really well, so great to get another clean sheet and not another easy place to come, it's a tough place to come.
Mo, that wasn't a bad way to get back among the goals, was it today?
It was not a bad way at all. Top of the table, scored three goals, so fantastic win today. And as you said, clean sheet. That's everything I can say today.
You have the prize in your hands, the match ball, of course.
How did Mohamed Salah perform in this match?
Of the three, which one did you enjoy finishing the most?
The last one. I could say the last one was good. It was calm, you know. Yeah, the last one.
That's 12 for you in all competitions for the season now. How are you meeting your own expectations in front of goal?
My expectation is very high, but I know everyone else's expectation is very high. But as I said before, the most important thing was top of the table, winning each game. So that's the most important thing.
James, 500 Premier League games. Is that a landmark that you can enjoy now or will it be something more to look back on at the end of your career?
What does James Milner's 500th Premier League game signify?
I can enjoy it today because we've won 4-0, but I think obviously it's more something for when you look back on. It's a nice achievement to have, but like I said, the result was the most important thing today. We needed to keep getting these results and keep getting the three points, and we've had two tough away trips this week in quick succession. Two really good results and obviously the games keep coming thick and fast, so we've got to keep our foot on the gas. Well, you are top, albeit temporarily, for a few hours.
Given the quality of this title race, what encouragement does that give you today?
I think the performance again. Like I say, we've played a lot of games in quick succession. We keep getting the results and at times we've played really well and other times we haven't played so well. But it's about getting those results. We've defended really well and when you've got players of the quality of this guy next to me, he can win you a game on his own and he turned that game today. that's the luxury we have of the quality in the squad but also you look at the changes we've made the last couple of games as well and it shows the quality goes right throughout the squad and that's what you need if you're going to challenge Great win, many congratulations rather unsurprisingly you are the Premier League man of the match if you do the honest thing 500 games No, this one's yours
What were Bournemouth's challenges during the match?
Very well said.
Congratulations.
So Mo Salah handing over his Man of the Match award to James Miller to commemorate those 500 appearances. He could make the sixth highest number of appearances of any Premier League player by the end of this season, potentially. But as far as today's result and performance goes, Graham, how important was it?
They were fabulous. I have to say, I think Bournemouth made it very easy for them. I thought they started in a passive way. Liverpool took command very early on and stayed in the front foot throughout. But you have to say, some of Liverpool's passing and moving was sensational. how passive Bournemouth were. That's an argument.
How did Liverpool maintain their position at the top of the table?
But I just felt Liverpool today, from the first whistle right through to the end, dominated. I think a great indicator is that not when you just have the ball and how much possession you have and how many chances you create, but how quickly you get the ball back from opposition. And Bournemouth, they couldn't string three or four passes together today. Liverpool got after them. The minute they lost it, they got after them and got it back and then were on the front foot again.
