LONDON (Reuters) - Liverpool emerged from their recent mini-slump slump to get their Premier League title procession back on track with a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday.
Their 22nd successive top-flight win at home, breaking the English record set by Bill Shankly's side in 1972, was sealed by goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane after Callum Wilson had given Bournemouth a shock lead.
Alexandre Lacazette's late goal gave Arsenal a 1-0 win over West Ham United, putting them level on 40 points with Tottenham Hotspur who are away at Burnley later on Saturday.Watford, like West Ham and Bournemouth, have 27 points after they came back to earth with a bump following their 3-0 win over Liverpool last weekend -- Jordan Ayew scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win for Crystal Palace.
Liverpool were far from their best but midfielder James Milner said it was important to respond from three defeats in their last four games in all competitions, especially as they face Atletico Madrid next week seeking to overturn a 1-0 deficit in the Champions League last 16. They made the worst possible start when, after nine minutes, Wilson slotted home for Bournemouth although he appeared to get away with a shove on Joe Gomez in the build-up.
