MOHAMED SALAH ensured Liverpool stretched their lead at the top of the Premier League to nine points after a 2-0 win at Bournemouth.
However, the Reds were helped by a controversial penalty decision that set them on their way to the win.

Cody Gakpo won a penalty in the 28th minute after appearing to be tripped up by Lewis Cook.
Referee Darren England awarded a spot-kick, which VAR confirmed, despite it appearing as though Gakpo had actually tripped up on his own legs.
But another angle seemed to show the offending incident with Cook clipping Gakpo’s rear leg in the area.
Bournemouth were on top for the majority of the game, but were wasteful and were unable to beat in-form Allison.
Salah then curled his second goal of the afternoon into the top corner late in the second half to confirm the three points and move Arne Slot’s side to an unbeaten run of 19 games.
