FULL TIME: Liverpool 1-0 Bournemouth
And that’s that! Jurgen Klopp has his first win as Liverpool manager! He smiles warmly and pats a few backs, a special hug reserved for Firmino. He walks onto the pitch and commiserates with Bournemouth, before giving Allen a long hug followed by a forceful pep talk. Bournemouth played well tonight - Adam Bogdan had plenty to do - but they were second best nonetheless, Liverpool by far the better team in the second half, and scorers of a peach of a goal in the first.
They’re in the hat for the quarter finals, and the sense of relief around Anfield is palpable. Next stop for Klopp’s team: Stamford Bridge. With the monkey off the new Liverpool manager’s back, and Chelsea having something to prove, it could be quite the clash. Saturday’s a date, then.
