Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to nine points as Mohamed Salah's brace secured a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth at a lively Vitality Stadium.

Salah, now with 178 Premier League goals, moved ahead of Frank Lampard into sixth place on the all-time scoring list.

The Egyptian forward opened the scoring in the 30th minute with a well-taken penalty after Lewis Cook was penalized for tripping Cody Gakpo.

Bournemouth, who have claimed wins over Arsenal, Manchester City, and Nottingham Forest this season, nearly took the lead when Antoine Semenyo's shot struck the post.
