Liverpool extends Premier League lead to nine points after Salah double

Liverpool extended their Premier League lead to nine points with a 2-0 victory against Bournemouth, thanks to Mohamed Salah's two goals. Salah scored a disputed penalty in the first half after Cody Gakpo fell, a decision supported by VAR despite Bournemouth's protests. He then secured the win with a brilliant solo goal, bringing his season tally to 21 and moving him to sixth on the all-time Premier League scoring list. Bournemouth, who had been unbeaten in 11 league games, hit the post twice and had a goal disallowed but couldn't capitalize on their chances. Liverpool now has 56 points from 23 matches, while Arsenal could narrow the gap with a win against Manchester City. The match also highlighted concerns for Liverpool with an injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold during the game.
