Watch: Salah seals victory over Bournemouth with sublime curler
Mohamed Salah scored both goals in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Bournemouth to strengthen the Reds' grip on top spot in the Premier League.
Not even Bournemouth, flying high and unbeaten in 11 matches going into Saturday's contest, could slow down the league's top scorer. The Egyptian broke the deadlock at the Vitality Stadium from the penalty spot in the first half and then bagged his 21st marker of the campaign with an exquisite curling effort to ensure Arne Slot's team collected all three points.

"It feels good to be scoring goals, to be winning, but my main target this season is to win the Premier League with the team so we must keep going," said Salah, whose future at Anfield remains unclear with his contract set to expire this summer.
Liverpool are now nine points clear of second-placed Arsenal ahead of the Gunners' big match against Manchester City on Sunday.
Salah, meanwhile, moved into sixth place on the Premier League's all-time scoring chart Saturday, leapfrogging Chelsea legend Frank Lampard.
