Bournemouth v Liverpool player ratings: Christie 7, Solanke 4; Jota 9, Nunez 8

Jurgen Klopp's men extend lead at top of Premier League to five points after 4-0 win

Liverpool moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 4-0 thrashing of Bournemouth that extended their unbeaten run to 14 games on Sunday.

The visitors were frustrated in a cagey first half of few goalscoring chances but stepped up several gears after the break with Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota both scoring twice.

Nunez made it 1-0 in the 49th minute after a slick passing move carved up Bournemouth's defence and the influential Jota put the game out of reach of the hosts with two clinical finishes in the 70th and 79th minutes.

Uruguayan Nunez put the seal on a dominant Liverpool display with his second goal in stoppage time.

“Bournemouth were a team in form, we had this small break now so maybe that's why we took a bit of time to get into the game,” said Jota.

“We were a bit static in the first half but in the second half we changed, everything flowed better and we deserved the three points in the end.

“We were too static, we changed players from one side to the other and they got a bit tried and started to give us a yard or two more space. They played really good in the first half but we converted our chances in the second half and that's football."

Liverpool have 48 points from 21 games with champions Manchester City, Arsenal and Aston Villa on 43 points. City do have a game in hand of Jurgen Klopp's side. Bournemouth are in 12th place with 25 points.

The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.

Libya's Gold

UN Panel of Experts found regime secretly sold a fifth of the country's gold reserves. 

The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.

Cases filled with cash that was said to amount to $560m in 100 dollar notes, that was kept by a group of Libyans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

A second stash was said to have been held in Accra, Ghana, inside boxes at the local offices of an international human rights organisation based in France.

Freezer tips

  • Always make sure food is completely cool before freezing.
  • If you’re cooking in large batches, divide into either family-sized or individual portions to freeze.
  • Ensure the food is well wrapped in foil or cling film. Even better, store in fully sealable, labelled containers or zip-lock freezer bags.
  • The easiest and safest way to defrost items such as the stews and sauces mentioned is to do so in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
