Bournemouth vs Liverpool live updates: Iraola’s return a cagey, scoreless affair so far

Andoni Iraola’s return to the Vitality Stadium saw Liverpool take three points from his former club, as Alexander Isak’s goal and Alisson Becker’s goalkeeping were enough to secure a 1-0 win on Sunday.

Alisson made key interventions in both halves, his early work key as the Reds started slow against their hosts.

Isak scored his fourth goal in five Premier League outings this season after good work from Cody Gakpo and Florian Wirtz to create havoc from the right side.

That was pretty much it as Iraola’s new side and system clashed with Marco Rose’s evolution of what was build by Iraola over three impressive seasons at Bournemouth.

Liverpool held 54% of the ball and out-attempted Bournemouth 12-9 but had to deal with an aggressive Cherries who were always one kick away from changing the game.
