Mohamed Salah becomes the first Liverpool player to get 20 goals in a season before Christmas since Ian Rush in 1986-87.

Nice.

Away we go again.

Bournemouth comeback?

A change at the interval for Bournemouth.

Manchester United

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera, speaking to BBC Sport: "We should have controlled more of the game in the second half because in the first half we played really, really well.

"We have to control the game more when we are 2-0 up. We can be happy but if we want to keep winning games we have to look at that."

On Romelu Lukaku: "It is a good thing. It means he wants to score, he wants to improve. He wants to be the best. When he doesn't score he does a fantastic job. We are a team, we cannot give Lukaku all the responsibility to score the goals. We have to help."

On title battle: "We won three titles last season, which was very good. It is true that the top of the table is difficult to reach right now but this is Premier League, you never know. Our aim is just to keep winning games."

West Bromwich Albion

West Brom manager Alan Pardew speaking to Sky Sports:

"There was better shape to the team and better legs in the second half. The team I picked in hindsight was not the best team. I should have maybe made two or three changes.

"We looked leggy and not up to the ball. There was a lot more conviction in our play after the break. We never really got the crowd going. They were quiet - we had to get them going. We have to take risks. We have to take risks with our passing. We had a lack of energy.

On Ashley Young's challenge on James McClean in the area: "It looked like a penalty when he was banged out of the way."

On the inclusion of Oliver Burke: "He showed them flashes that you can see. Some of his knowledge of his game he has to improve. He tried to give me what I wanted but it didn't unfold team-wise."

West Bromwich Albion

West Brom manager Alan Pardew, speaking to BBC's Match of the Day: "They found it far too comfortable for us, when we have a full house here. I made a mistake with the team. I wanted to show faith after the game at Liverpool but should have brought fresher legs in. I have to accept blame. Our conviction wasn't there first half in terms of passing. In the second half we started putting balls in the box to test them. A finish where we could have got something from the game that could have flattered us. Lessons learned for myself and the team today.

"It is about getting to know each other. We don't have time for this process. We have a massive game with Stoke. Fortunately we have 18 games to go and I will lean on that.

"The dressing room is such a place that you can get your message over fairly quickly. I have some quality not available. Barry and Brunt made a big difference. I have one or two more coming back. We have a lot of work to do."

Manchester United

United boss Jose Mourinho speaking to BBC's Match of the Day: "West Brom can score a goal in a set-play against anyone. They are really strong and aggressive. They can put teams under pressure. We had so much possession though.

"We knew a situation [of them scoring] can arrive. That came and lifted the stadium and gave them belief they didn't have until then.

"We had the ball well and finished the game without any pressure.

"They had a fantastic manager in Tony Pulis and now in Alan Pardew."

On Romelu Lukaku's lack of celebration after scoring:

"[Joking] Maybe he looks to the bench and sees his manager doesn't celebrate.

"Maybe he loves West Brom. Maybe he remembers the team that helped him early in his career.

"I will celebrate if my team scores a winning goal in the last minute. But you have to have more maturity and keep your feet on the ground. If some guys want to be kids until the last day of their careers or if they want to act to the cameras then they can. But if we score an important goal then I can do anything."

A bit of reaction to bring you from Manchester United's victory over West Brom earlier...

The big guns Salah and Coutinho on target for Liverpool.

Bournemouth being cut to shreds.

There's four men around Mohamed Salah and a goalkeeper but he stretches to bury it in the bottom corner.

What a goal. That is is exquisite football.

Great save by Begovic. I bet he couldn't believe the ball came straight at him. It was a nice bit of play but an even better save.

Wow, stunning football from Liverpool.

Mohamed Salah pops the ball off to Philippe Coutinho, trusting the Brazilian to find his run.

Coutinho does so with a delightful chip, but Salah volleys a shot straight at Asmir Begovic from six yards out.

Lovely football from Bournemouth, as they work their way in behind the Liverpool defence, but Junior Stanislas cannot convert Charlie Daniel's cutback into the box.

At the other end, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain calls Asmir Begovic into action with a save low to his right.

It was well struck from outside the box by the former Gunner.

That was a lovely ball through to Jermain Defoe and he was almost ready to celebrate. How unlucky for Bournemouth.

Bad miss, Bournemouth should have pulled one back.

Jermain Defoe beats the offside trap by latching on to Junior Stanilas's throughball.

The Englishman is in on goal - lump on, put your mortgage on him to score - but he somehow drags his shot onto the post.

His side are in control and two goals to the good, but Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is still not happy, standing on the touchline shaking his head.

Bournemouth, to their credit, have not given up and cause some problems for Liverpool with Marc Pugh's cross to the back post.

The Reds, in white today, maintain their shape from the corner and clear their lines.
