LIVERPOOL YATINGA ROUND YA TANO KOMBE LA FA

Liverpool edged into the FA Cup fifth round with a 2-0 victory over a
brave Bournemouth outfit on Saturday.
Bournemouth more than matched its Premier League visitor,
particularly in the first half, but Victor Moses handed Liverpool the
lead in the 26th minute with the club's first shot on target.

Brendan Rodgers' side had to wait until the second half to get another
effort on target and it doubled the lead - Daniel Sturridge scoring his
14th goal of the season in all competitions to break Bournemouth's
spirited resolve.

Eddie Howe's men were unchanged from their 1-1 league draw against
Watford last weekend, while Rodgers made three alterations from
Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Aston Villa, bringing in Brad Jones, Moses
and Martin Kelly for Simon Mignolet, Raheem Sterling and the injured
Glen Johnson.
The home side started brightly at Dean Court, and Simon Francis
almost caught Jones off guard in the 13th minute when a free kick
from the left wing was carried goalwards by a coastal gust, forcing the
retreating Liverpool goalkeeper to tip over his crossbar.
Liverpool's first chance of the match came in the form of a 25th-
minute Steven Gerrard free kick, but the captain drilled his effort high
and wide of the target.
However, the top-flight outfit was ahead a minute later when Moses
picked up the ball at the edge of the penalty area and drove a low
effort beyond the outstretched right arm of Lee Camp and into the
bottom left corner of the net.
The goal was somewhat harsh on Bournemouth, which had equipped
itself more than adequately in the opening stages, but the team
instantly began to push for an equalizer, with Harry Arter seeing an
effort drift just wide of the target on the half-hour mark, before
Andrew Surman had a 12-yard strike deflected over by Kolo Toure and
Tommy Elphick headed high from the resulting corner.
Sturridge had the ball in the back of the net shortly before the break,
but the linesman had flagged for an extremely marginal offside.
Bournemouth continued to press at the beginning of the second period
and had cause to feel aggrieved in the 58th minute, when Kelly clearly
tugged on the shirt of Francis in the Liverpool penalty area.
The club's hopes were dealt a killer blow on the hour mark when Luis
Suarez found Sturridge with a sublime through ball, and the England
striker made no mistake in slotting beyond Camp.
Sturridge could have made it three 12 minutes later, but his chipped
effort dropped onto the top of the crossbar, and Suarez was also
denied from close range late on.
