Andoni Iraola secured a narrow win upon his return to Bournemouth, with Alexander Isak (\u00a39.1m) on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n

Here are our Scout Notes from the Vitality Stadium.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ISAK POUNCES<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t pretty, but Isak\u2019s precise finish was ultimately the difference for Liverpool.<\/p>\n

After some fine work by Cody Gakpo (\u00a37.2m) down the flank, the ball ballooned into the air after Florian Wirtz\u2019s (\u00a37.3m) attempted flick-on. The Sweden international subsequently made no mistake, slotting home to break the deadlock, before he was booked for his celebrations.<\/p>\n

With his fourth strike of 2026\/27, Isak has already surpassed last season\u2019s Premier League goal tally (three) after just five matches.<\/p>\n

As for Wirtz, he was poor overall but did supply the assist for Isak\u2019s winner.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe started the game slowly, I agree. The first minute they went quite intense and we were not quite with us. The duels in the middle.\u00a0After that first phase, I think we improved. Florian has helped us also to improve. Second half he was playing much better, he was finding better spots to receive and turn. Probably we haven\u2019t found the last part or moment to score but I think I\u2019m much happier with his second half than his first one.\u201d \u2013 Andoni Iraola on Florian Wirtz<\/p>\n

Gakpo meanwhile started down the right flank and was probably Liverpool\u2019s best player after Jeremy Jacquet (\u00a35.0m).<\/p>\n

\u201cCody especially, today he has been very important in both ways. Offensively, the difficult part of the goal is from him. But defensively, I know Adrien Truffert very well and he demands a lot from you defensively. He has also been playing a lot in the other side, and he\u2019s an important player for us.\u201d \u2013 Andoni Iraola on Cody Gakpo<\/p>\n

SZOBOSZLAI SET FOR FURTHER SALES<\/p>\n

With the exception of a couple of free-kicks, including one that fizzed just wide of Djordje Petrovic\u2019s (\u00a34.5m) post, Dominik Szoboszlai (\u00a37.0m) was largely anonymous on the south coast.<\/p>\n

After a booking for a foul on Alex Scott (\u00a36.1m) just after the restart, he later made way for Ryan Gravenberch (\u00a35.8m) in the 80th minute.<\/p>\n

With only six defensive contributions (DefCon) to his name on Sunday, the Hungarian midfielder has now delivered just 12 points in his last four matches.<\/p>\n

And with Liverpool bottom of the ticker over the next six Gameweeks, Szoboszlai is already the third-most sold player since Friday\u2019s deadline, with over 106,000 transfers out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ANOTHER LIVERPOOL CLEAN SHEET, JACQUET IMPRESSES<\/p>\n

Liverpool kept their third clean sheet in a row on Sunday, with Jacquet in particular superb at the back.<\/p>\n

This run of shut-outs notably coincides with Ronald Araujo\u2019s (\u00a35.4m) deployment at right-back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the more time \u2013 especially the defenders \u2013 they play together, I think it becomes more solid as a unit in the defensive line. I think Jeremy [Jacquet] and Virgil [van Dijk] with the help now of Ronald [Araujo] and Milos [Kerkez] are getting the connections. I think it\u2019s becoming more solid and in the moments that you need to defend the result or they are putting you under pressure, I think we are looking solid.\u201d \u2013 Andoni Iraola<\/p>\n

Iraola also praised Jacquet, whose individual contributions really helped preserve the Liverpool clean sheet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy for him because he\u2019s also received his first international call-up. He\u2019s going with France and that is a big national team and I know that he is happy. He\u2019s still very young, he is adapting really well to the Premier League. I think in the first games, physically he was feeling the change of rhythm, he was finishing with cramps, finishing really tired and we had to sub him. Today has been a step forward. He looked solid until the end and I think he\u2019s finished physically also in a good place. I hope he can continue this development.\u201d \u2013 Andoni Iraola on Jeremy Jacquet<\/p>\n

Centre-back partner Virgil van Dijk (\u00a36.5m) banked DefCon points for the second match in a row at the Vitality Stadium.<\/p>\n

KLUIVERT \u201cOUT FOR WEEKS\u201d<\/p>\n

Bournemouth\u2019s search for a first Premier League win under Marco Rose continues, then.<\/p>\n

With Justin Kluivert (\u00a36.0m) sidelined due to injury, the Cherries\u2019 quality was lacking in the final-third.<\/p>\n

Ryan Christie (\u00a35.0m), in for Kluivert in the \u201810\u2019, got into some decent positions and racked up a match-high four shots, while Marcus Tavernier (\u00a36.1m) nearly got an assist when he delivered a lovely cross for Evanilson (\u00a36.0m).<\/p>\n

However, Bournemouth failed to convert, and having made just one alteration from Thursday\u2019s European win over Real Sociedad, visibly tired in the second-half.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could see a bit later when Bournemouth started to get tired that in the second half we controlled the game much better.\u201d \u2013 Andoni Iraola<\/p>\n

Kluivert meanwhile picked up an injury in Spain.<\/p>\n

\u201cJustin suffered an injury in San Sebastien. We are going to miss him for some weeks. Nothing real bad but it needs resting.\u201d \u2013 Marco Rose on Justin Kluivert<\/p>\n

Tavernier was hooked in the 74th minute on Sunday, his earliest substitution of the season, so how Bournemouth balance European football is something we\u2019ll need to consider after the international break, given the fixture pile-up.<\/p>\n
