Liverpool Maintain Defensive Form With Clean Sheet Against Bournemouth
· Sports · BBC Sport
Liverpool secured a victory against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium, extending their unbeaten run across all competitions. The team has now kept three consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League, a defensive milestone not achieved by the club since September 2024. Manager Andoni Iraola credited the growing chemistry between defenders Virgil van Dijk, Jeremy Jacquet, Ronald Araujo, and Milos Kerkez for the improved stability. Twenty-one-year-old defender Jeremy Jacquet, who joined from Rennes for £60 million, has started every league match this season and received his first international call-up for France.
