Not something you ever want to see. Bournemouth very lucky to have 11 men Marcos Senesi is the last man back and he loses focus, swiping at the ball with his hand and moving it away from the pressing Liverpool attack. Stunningly, VAR does not find it worthy of a pitchside review. Very surprising. And very lucky for Bournemouth. 0-0, 16'. Salah lets it fly Oh Liverpool look bright going forward. Hugo Ekitike drops to pick up the ball and soon it's to Mohamed Salah on the right wing. The Egyptian cuts onto his left and lashes a shot that Djordje Petrovic flies to palm over the goal.

Eddie Howe drops huge Alexander Isak transfer hint and it's good news for Liverpool
Alexander Isak's future remains unresolved as he pushes for a move to Liverpool and trains away from Newcastle United's first team squad ahead of their opening Premier League fixture Newcastle are being forced to confront life without star striker Alexander Isak as they prepare to take on Aston Villa in the Premier League this weekend. Eddie Howe has acknowledged that his side will 'have to find a way' without the Swede's services, which may prick the ears of those associated with Liverpool. Isak continues to train away from Newcastle 's first team squad as he attempts to push through a transfer to Arne Slot's side. The forward will be unavailable for the first match of the season on Saturday and appears to have no intention to represent Newcastle again. The 25-year-old missed the Magpies pre-season tour of Asia and spent time training at former club Real Sociedad's base. Liverpool have seen their efforts thus far, knocked back and do not plan to return with another offer for Isak unless encouraged to do so. Isak has not yet given up on an exit however, despite having three years remaining on his contract at St James' Park. The forward could yet be fined over his continued absence in the coming days. Newcastle boss Howe has admitted the situation has disrupted his side. The ex-Bournemouth head coach conceded that Isak being unavailable leaves a significant hole in the squad. "I don't think it's been healthy for us," Howe said. "I don't deny that's been a big challenge. "Alex, for me, is one of the best strikers in the world - if not the best. To miss him from your squad leaves a huge gap." "I think morale was certainly affected early on during pre-season," he added. "There was nothing I could do to affect that - it was always going to be there. "When you have a player that good who is not part of your group, it's difficult for the players to fully understand it and to know what's going on and how to react. "But, as time has gone on, there has been an acceptance this is the squad and we have got to make the best of the situation. That's always been my train of thought. "Whatever situation you're in, you have got to find a way and you can only control what you can control. We have moved forward and I've got to say the atmosphere of the group has been very good in the last couple of weeks."

Alexander Isak admitted he'd turn down Newcastle offer as Liverpool target gets confirmation
It remains to be seen whether Alexander Isak will play for Newcastle United again as he looks to force through a move to Liverpool, but he definitely won't be emulating Alan Shearer Alexander Isak once said he would turn down the offer to become Newcastle United's new No. 9 if he was offered the honour. This summer, Isak has gone from being Newcastle's most exciting and loved striker since Alan Shearer to public enemy No. 1 at St. James' Park. The Swede has been desperate to move to Liverpool, who have already had a bid worth £110million knocked back by the Toon. Isak, 25, has been training separately from the rest of Eddie Howe's squad. It's also understood the ex-Real Sociedad man has informed the club he does not intend on playing for them again. It's a far cry from a few months ago, where many in the Newcastle faithful wanted to grant him Shearer's iconic number. During an appearance on the Adopted Geordies podcast in February, Isak was asked whether he would consider taking the famous No. 9 shirt for the Magpies. After briefly considering his thoughts, the striker, who was this week confirmed as Newcastle's No. 14 for this season despite the No. 9 being left vacant by the outgoing Callum Wilson, revealed he would likely reject such an offer. Isak said: "I would probably stay as 14 to be honest. I know [the No. 9 is iconic]. I think it's a difficult one because I've been successful with 14, and it would probably not be an easy decision. I understand [the desire to wear the No. 9 shirt] but we'll see.' When asked about his affection for his current number, he added: "I wouldn't say it's just one player, but 14 is an iconic number. There have been great players who have played with that number. [David] Ginola, Thierry Henry, and I had 14 when I signed for Dortmund as well, so there's some history there.' It's understood Liverpool are not planning on making a second bid for Isak, who is understood to be valued at around £150m by Newcastle. The Merseysiders are seemingly carrying out a wait and see approach to see what happens between the forward and the club. According to The Athletic, Isak has no plans to re-integrate himself with the rest of the squad, let alone pull on the black and white jersey again. It's also been claimed he will maintain his position, even if he does not agree a move to Anfield by the time the transfer window shuts on September 1. Howe has also stated he will not include Isak in his plans while the current situation is ongoing. After he watched his side draw 2-2 with Espanyol in a friendly last Friday, the ex-Bournemouth manager said: "We've had discussions. "It's clear at the moment that we can't involve him with the group. I don't know how long that will be for, but that's the latest." Looking ahead to Newcastle's Premier League opener against Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon, Howe added: "I'd want Alex to be playing today. I'd want him training tomorrow. We would love the player to be with us. "Let me make that absolutely clear. There's no part of me that doesn't want that outcome, but I don't see the current situation changing for Aston Villa." Newcastle's efforts to replace him have also been in vain. Manchester United recently pipped them to the signing of Benjamin Sesko, while attempts to sign the likes of Bryan Mbeumo, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro have also failed this summer.
