Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool Player Ratings: Araújo & Alisson Star in Win

Aerial view of the Vitality Stadium during Liverpool FC's 1-0 Premier League victory over AFC Bournemouth

Liverpool became the first team to beat Bournemouth on their home pitch since January of 2026, as Alexander Isak provided the game-winner in the 60th minute to secure the 1-0 victory.

  • Alisson (8/10): Brilliant first-half save and controlled the box all game
  • Van Dijk (7/10): I really like how the defense is coming together, and that all starts with the captain 
  • Gakpo (7/10): Nice run with the ball to set up Isak’s goal 
  • Kerkez (5/10): Nothing stood out 
  • Wirtz (5/10): The commentators kept roasting him for a poor performance, but he wasn’t that bad
  • Szoboszlai (6/10): Just missed a couple of free kicks
  • Isak (6/10): In the end, it was a simple finish, but he still had to put the ball in the back of the net. Really came alive in the second half
  • Barcola (5/10): You can tell he has magic in his boots, but not much chance to show it off today 
  • Araújo (8/10): Quickly becoming one of Liverpool’s best defenders
  • Jacquet (5/10): Quiet game, not much to speak of
  • Mac Allister (6/10): Not much going forward, but had some big stops late to preserve the shutout

Substitutes

  • Nyoni (4/10): Gave away a dangerous free kick
  • Muñoz (6/10): Showed tremendous speed after coming on.
  • Koumas (6/10): Earned a late corner to help salt away the game
  • Gravenberch (5/10): Little impact

Man of the Match

Araujo

The Manager 

  • Andoni Iraola (8/10): Huge win vs. former club

LFC Globe Verdict

This Liverpool team is rounding into form. The defense looks solid with three straight clean sheets in EPL play, and the offense can strike at any time
