Isak’s Second-Half Goal Earns Liverpool 1-0 Win at Bournemouth
Alexander Isak scored in the 57th minute as Liverpool beat Bournemouth 1-0 at the Vitality Stadium for their second Premier League win of the 2026/27 season. Bournemouth began brightly and Evanilson forced Alisson Becker into an important first-half save. Liverpool struggled to create clear chances, while Dominik Szoboszlai missed two free kicks and Bradley Barcola was denied by goalkeeper Đorđe Petrović. The hosts pushed harder after the break, with Ryan Christie going close twice. However, Liverpool took the lead against the run of play when Cody Gakpo’s cross fell to Isak following deflections, and the striker finished from close range. Bournemouth could not find an equaliser, ending their long unbeaten home run. Liverpool have now won 15 of their last 19 Premier League meetings with the Cherries.
