Trent Alexander-Arnold admitted that Liverpool's thumping win over Bournemouth was a direct response to their loss against Manchester United.
Liverpool equalled the Premier League's record win by thrashing Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield on Saturday afternoon. In the process they recorded the fourth instance of that scoreline in the league’s history and picked up their first league win of the season in style.
Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz both scored twice, while Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho all got on the scoresheet alongside a Chris Mepham own goal. The emphatic victory came just five days after Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford against rivals United and Alexander-Arnold did not try to hide the connection.
