Liverpool produced an impressive display of football to maintain its lead at the top of the Premier League with a 4-0 win away to Bournemouth on Sunday.

Jurgen Klopp's side hit top gear after halftime to beat one of the most in-form sides in the competition, getting seven out of eight shots on target.

Following an entertaining first half without goals, Darwin Nunez put Liverpool ahead in the 49th minute after a pass from Diogo Jota.

Jota scored Liverpool's second goal in the 70th minute after a move started by Nunez and continued by Cody Gakpo, and he added his second of the game with 11 minutes to play as he slammed a loose ball into the top corner.

Nunez netted his second of the game in injury time to make it 4-0 - a result that leaves Liverpool five points clear of Manchester City.

Oliver McBurnie kept his nerve to score a 103rd-minute penalty to save a point for Sheffield United in a tense 2-2 draw at home to West Ham United.

West Ham looked on track for a vital away win after James Ward-Prowse had netted a 79th-minute penalty before keeper Alphonse Areola was penalized after colliding with McBurnie as they both went for a cross.

The visitors took the lead in the 28th minute when Maxwel Cornet reacted well to score from a deflected cross before new signing Ben Brereton scored his first goal of the season to make it 1-1 in the 44th minute.

Rhian Brewster and Vladimir Coufal were both sent off in a tense end to the game.
