Konate denies Solanke 13th league goal in 2023/24, spares Liverpool squeaky-bum time

Liverpool ended up beating Bournemouth convincingly, but there were some nerves before the Reds secured a 4-0 victory.

One of the most notable incidents happened when Liverpool had a two-goal lead.

Ex-Red Dominic Solanke, one of the most in-form strikers with 12 goals in the Premier League, had been kept at bay. Here, however, he smelt an opportunity after escaping Virgil van Dijk's attention.

Max Aarons saw his teammate free and cut the ball back to him.

However, Ibrahima Konate saw the danger and slid in.

The Frenchman managed to cleanly dispossess Solanke in the penalty area.

Afterwards, Van Dijk thanked Konate for effectively bailing him out.
