Andoni Iraola returned to Bournemouth for the first time since leaving the Cherries’ bench and took all three points back home with him – 1-0.During an uneventful first half, the two sides produced a fiercely contested, physical battle, with few opportunities and only two shots on target – first when Alisson superbly saved Evanilson’s brilliant close-range backheel effort and the second when the Cherries’ goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic comfortably denied Bradley Barcola’s strike.After the break, the closely contested game continued, but unlike the first half, the second period produced a winner, as Alexander Isak broke the deadlock in the 57th minute, following Cody Gakpo’s solo run and cross, with Bournemouth’s defense reacting clumsily.Alexander Isak has now scored more Premier League this season for Liverpool (4) than all of last season (3) ⚽️Getting back to his best. p..
