# Liverpool: Loads of fans were in awe at Mohamed Salah’s back-heel assist vs Bournemouth

**Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over Bournemouth meant they opened the gap between themselves and champions [Manchester City to 14 points](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjshpLNk6bmAhW6XRUIHdO0C_UQFjABegQIAhAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.premierleague.com%2Ftables&usg=AOvVaw1c9sXfNwpZEyY6u03M-R9I), and they did it in style too. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mohamed Salah were back on the scoresheet, but it was Naby Keita’s goal that caught the eye most.**

Jurgen Klopp chose to[rest Sadio Mane](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50611308) by starting him on the bench, but the link-up between Salah and Keita made up for the missing section of Liverpool’s formidable front three. Salah managed to pull off a cheeky back-heel which drew in two Bournemouth defenders, allowing Keita to pick up the ball and calmly slot it home. It was [his first goal](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/243510/Show/Naby-Keita) of the Premier League season but [Salah’s fourth assist.](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/108226/Show/Mohamed-Salah)

The club’s official Twitter account posted a clip of Salah’s flick and fans were in awe at how good it was. Liverpool captioned it “beautiful” and supporters replied showing just how impressed they were by their wide-man.
