In the 35th minute of the Bournemouth vs. Liverpool match, Justin Kluivert was involved in a highly contentious tackle on Luis Diaz, narrowly avoiding a red card for the risky challenge.

The incident saw Kluivert deliberately tread on the ankle of Liverpool’s number 7, causing significant distress to Diaz, who had to briefly leave the field for medical attention.

Surprisingly, Kluivert escaped punishment, not even receiving a yellow card for the aggressive tackle. Despite the evident frustration from Liverpool’s coach Jurgen Klopp, the referee’s decision stood, adding to a series of perceived poor calls against Liverpool throughout the season.

Despite the early challenges, Liverpool managed to turn the tide in the second half. Jurgen Klopp’s team staged a comeback, securing a 4-0 victory against Bournemouth. Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez each scored twice, propelling Liverpool to a dominant win.

With this triumph, Liverpool solidified their position at the top of the rankings with 48 points, five ahead of second-placed Manchester City, albeit having played one extra game.
