    Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool

    We've just seen another replay of Salah's goal. He's comfortably offside. It's his full body, not just a toe or something. Begovic should have still held the first shot from Firmino, mind.

    Ash: Begovic gifted that goal to Liverpool. Poor keeping

    James: Liverpool score another offside goal - no change there then

    Can Bournemouth respond? They work a couple of decent positions but eventually Lerma puts a pass out of play.

    Gareth Southgate is in the stands. Who is he watching? Milner at right-back?

    Finally the massed ranks of Liverpool fans - who would have had to set off from Merseyside at stupid o'clock this morning to reach the south coast for a lunchtime kick-off - have a goal to cheer from their "Egyptian King".

    Assistant referee Marc Perry - who's earned the wrath of the home fans a couple of times before that goal for failing to flag Liverpool players offside - kept his flag down again that time. Fair to say he shouldn't expect any Christmas cards from the home fans behind him in the East Stand.

    Liverpool are now top of the Premier League as things stand.

    GOAL - Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpoolpublished at 26 mins

    Mohamed Salah

    I was just about to say Mo Salah was looking lively and now he scores. He's been given a helping hand on two fronts, however.

    Salah turns in the rebound from close range after Asmir Begovic had spilled Roberto Firmino's shot but the replays show Salah was in an offside position. It was a mistake by both Begovic and the linesman but Jurgen Klopp doesn't care and punches the air.

  7. GOOD SAVE!published at 24 mins

    Bournemouth 0-0 Liverpool

    Oooof. It may have been all Liverpool so far but that's as close as we've come. David Brooks gets into the action for the first time with a shot on the turn from eight yards but Alisson makes the save at the near post.

    Much better from Bournemouth.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Liverpool

    Crunch. A proper full-blooded challenge from James Milner on his 500th Premier League appearance. The Bournemouth fans are furious as they think it was a foul but Lee Mason waves play on.

    Eventually the Cherries do get their first shot away but Joshua King drags it wide of the left-hand post.

    Both teams are really trying to spring into action in the final third, but Nathan Ake held Mo Salah up well on that occasion.

    Bournemouth are having a string of one or two passes but they can't get the possession that Eddie Howe likes to have - you can see him already talking about tactics to his staff on the sidelines.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Liverpool

    Bournemouth have every player within 40 yards of their own goal and that encourages Joel Matip to maraud forward.

    Fabinho has a shot from 25 yards but gets it awfully wrong. It was going way, way wide before hitting a defender.

    Alisson is going to have to make friends with a steward. There's no one near him.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Liverpool

    Finally Bournemouth get the ball into the final third...

    And Joshua King passes straight to Fabinho. It's not sticking up top so far for the hosts.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16 mins

    Jefferson Lerma

    Another yellow for Bournemouth. They've had more bookings than attacks so far. Jefferson Lerma brings down Fabinho with a late hack and is punished.

    Jack: Wow. Naby Keita looking good already. He will score today

    Jel: I'm not a Liverpool fan by any means but what a player that Keita is.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Liverpool

    Xherdan Shaqiri hits the top of the wall with the free-kick. He buries his face in his hands. He thought that was in.

    Bournemouth head away the resulting corner before Salah tries to sneak in again but slices his shot from a tight angle.

    Bournemouth stopped. You always play to the whistle but they were adamant Salah was offside. This is dangerous now.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 12 mins

    Bournemouth 0-0 Liverpool

    Now here's a chance. Roberto Firmino tries to dink a ball through to Mo Salah but it's blocked by Nathan Ake with the most blatant of handballs.

    Free-kick to Liverpool in a perfect position 20 yards out.

    Yellow for Ake too.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Liverpool

    It's early but Liverpool have had 75% possession so far. Keita gets into the action again with a snazzy backheel to Andrew Robertson. From there the Reds, playing in grey today, try to work a crossing position but turn back and keep the ball for a bit longer.

    We can see after the first five minutes, Bournemouth have a deep block and they look like they're set up to try and counter.

    They're going to surrender the possession and really try and spring a surprise on the counter.
