Steve Nicol ‘delighted’ with one aspect of Liverpool’s win on Sunday despite ‘rotten’ performance

Former Liverpool defender Steve Nicol praised the club's ability to secure a 1-0 away victory against Bournemouth despite what he described as a "rotten" performance. Alexander Isak scored the decisive goal in the 57th minute at the Vitality Stadium, securing all three points for Arne Slot's side.

Nicol highlighted the importance of Liverpool keeping a third consecutive Premier League clean sheet. He noted that while the attacking play was disappointing, maintaining defensive solidity through players like Alisson Becker and Jeremy Jacquet provides a strong platform for the team moving forward.
