The Reds need only to win three matches to win the Premier League



Report and highlights as Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane secure record-breaking 22nd consecutive Anfield league victory to move Reds close to title

Liverpool came from behind to beat Bournemouth as a 2-1 victory at Anfield moved them to within three wins of the Premier League title.
Liverpool's bid to arrest a run of three defeats in four matches got off to the worst possible start as Callum Wilson's contentious ninth-minute opener - allowed to stand after VAR ruled the Bournemouth striker's shove on Joe Gomez was legal - left Anfield stunned.
But Liverpool produced the response of would-be champions as Mohamed Salah, on his 100th Premier League appearance, and Sadio Mane punished costly Bournemouth defensive errors to turn the game around in the space of eight minutes before half-time.
A stunning goal-line clearance from captain James Milner and a late offside flag prevented Ryan Fraser and Wilson from rescuing a priceless point for the Cherries' survival bid.
But Liverpool avoided paying the price for a lethargic second-half performance as they held on for a record-breaking 22nd consecutive top-flight home victory that moves them 25 points clear at the top of table and to within nine points of the title.

Salah and Milner reaction: ' it was a must to win Bournemouth'

Having entered the clash 1-0 down, a dominant Liverpool got the goal they needed through Georginio Wijnaldum and should’ve ended things in normal time. Roberto Firmino finally put the Reds in front early into extra-time, before absolute chaos ensued at Anfield. A howler from Adrian gifted the visitors a priceless away goal through Marcos Llorente, and they were in dreamland when the substitute struck again before on 105 minutes.
