Comments:

League position: 8th This was the sixth time that AFC Bournemouth had conceded four or more goals in a home game in the Premier League (played 66) and the first since Liverpool's 4-0 win on 17 December 2017. The Cherries had now lost five of their last six games in the Premier League (won one). Nathan Aké made his 100th league appearance in this game.

Comments:

League position: 1st Due to Manchester City's defeat at Chelsea later in the day, Liverpool remained as the only unbeaten team in this Premier League season as they also overtook City at the top of the table. The Reds had now taken 42 points from their opening 16 games of this Premier League season. On a three points for a win basis, on only three occasions had a team taken more points at this stage of a top division season (46 by Manchester City in 2017-18, 46 by Tottenham Hotspur in 1960-61 and 43 by Chelsea in 2005-06). They had now equalled their club record of 17 games without defeat in the Premier League which was set in October 2008. Mohamed Salah's hat-trick was the 50th scored by a Liverpool player in an away league game. [c/o Ged Rea] Alisson became the first player to remain unbeaten in his first 16 appearances for the Reds in the Premier League. The previous club record holder was Javier Mascherano (15). They had now kept 21 clean sheets in their last 38 games in the Premier League and not conceded two or more goals in a game in 19 consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time in the competition's history. James Milner became the 13th player to make 500 appearances in the Premier League. At 32 years and 338 days, he became the second youngest to reach the landmark after Gareth Barry (32 years and 219 days).
