Watch: Darwin Nunez's outrageous curler heaps misery on Bournemouth
Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez bent a stunning left-footed shot past Bournemouth goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga for his first Premier League goal of the season in Saturday's runaway 3-0 win at Anfield.
The Uruguayan - who hadn't scored for Liverpool since an April 4 victory over Sheffield United last season - skipped past his man and fired in off the far post to give the Reds an insurmountable lead.

Antoine Semenyo thought he had given Bournemouth a surprise fourth-minute lead but was ruled offside after a quick VAR check.
Liverpool kicked into gear after that with three goals in 11 first-half minutes. Luis Diaz opened the scoring in the 26th minute and rounded Kepa for his second mere moments later. Nunez sealed the win to keep the Reds atop the Premier League table on 12 points.
Manchester City can overtake Arne Slot's side with a victory over Arsenal on Sunday.
