Alexander Isak Wins It For Liverpool
Alexander Isak, scored in the 57th minute to give Liverpool a hard fought 1-0 win over dangerous Bournemouth, at the Vitality Stadium on Matchday 5 of the 2026/27 EPL season.
A Great Effort From The Reds To Beat Bournemouth In Their Backyard
I have always referred to the Vitality Stadium as a visitors’ graveyard, where beating Bournemouth has to be a massive effort. Liverpool just did that a few minutes ago in a gritty, cagey battle with the Cherries.

Liverpool Dominated A Cagey Game
Liverpool dominated possession and had 3 shots at goal to Bournemouth’s too. The first half was a very cagey affair, with both teams playing not to lose rather than playing to win.
Gakpo Sets Up Isak With Brilliant Work
But Cody Gakpo with his resilience and ball skills, shrugged off two defenders and managed to steer a cross for Alexander Isak to score. It was brilliant from the Dutchman and the Swede too did well to ensure a composed finish.
Andoni Iraola Is Yet To Lose
Andoni Iraola then packed his defence to deny Bournemouth and ensure a crucial victory away from home. Liverpool under the 44-year-old Spanish Manager have yet to lose, which is indeed a very heartening factor for Liverpool fans.
Marco Rose Needs Some Inspiration For Bournemouth
Marco Rose, Bournemouth’s Manager fresh from a hard earned victory over Real Sociedad in the Europa League tried to scuttle and slow down the game instead of pushing hard for victory. Justin Kluivert didn’t take the field, and the loss has pushed Bournemouth to 18th after 3 draws and two defeats. The Cherries have yet to record a win in the EPL. No wonder the team would be a bit sore before the International break.
Joy For Liverpool
Joy for Liverpool as they move up to 5th on the EPL leaderboard.
