They have got to look at their pace and tempo.

I think it couldn't really get much worse than that first half for them. They were laboured and didn't really take advantage of their opportunities.

Aston Villa are making changes - they had to really - Amadou Onana, Donyell Malen, Ian Maatsen and Leon Bailey are all sent on.

Jacob Ramsey, Andres Garcia, Lucas Digne and Ollie Watkins go off. Watkins appeared to pick up an injury towards the end of the half.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has just been talking in the news conference and said Bournemouth were one of the toughest opponents they have faced this season.

The Dutchman said: "It was a battle, but I knew it would be. After our home game when we were 3-0 up, they came at us with a great mentality and quality.

"This team [Bournemouth] has done so well in picking up these points against so many good teams and it's not by luck. They are intense, they have quality and it was always going to be very hard. If you want to win here, you need some good luck as well, they have hit the post twice and their offside [for a potential goal] was a close call.

"Only a few [opponents] have been as tough as this. When it comes to running, they are so high up and if you want to have any chance you have to compete in terms of running, fighting, winning duels and that's what the players did.

"Having Mo Salah definitely helps in a game like this. You need a team performance and work rate and individual quality. I want them to fight from the first to last second to get the maximum results, that's what you need to do to have any chance in this league. All the points we have got, we have deserved them."

Southampton

Southampton manager Ivan Juric speaking to Sky Sports: "I am really delighted, really happy for the boys, for our fans - they are amazing and today everybody is very happy.

On the injuries suffered during the game: "We had problems with Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Jack Stephens. Today I have to say Joe Aribo was exceptional, he played at left centre-back and he played an incredible game."

On substitute Kamaldeen Sulemana's late goal: "I think Kamaldeen Sulemana is good, he has to work like he did for the last month and a half and I believe he can do it really well."

On having time to work with his players: "It's fundamental that I can work all week. The players want to improve, they work hard and I am very optimistic for the rest of the season."

On what the win does for the mood in the dressing room: "Today maybe we suffered a little bit more but we had character with the ball and we won. We have to believe that every game is an opportunity and we have to try to play like this every game."

Bournemouth

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, speaking to BBC MOTD: "I think disappointed, but happy with the performance. I think we gave ourselves a chance today - against this team, small things have to go to your side.

"These kind situations you need them to go your way, but it didn't happen. That was the main difference."

On the penalty: "They give this one - then I will complain for the other one [in a previous game] because it's even more clear.

"So, I can complain about the consistency of the decisions.

"The levels of the players we deserve to talk about them. I will try to speak about the players -they're the ones who deserve that

"We were ready for this, but we needed to punish them and put them under more pressure."

Liverpool

Liverpool boss Arne Slot, speaking to BBC MOTD: "That was difficult, as expected.

"They have made it so difficult, and they picked up a lot of points from teams which are in competition with us.

"We knew we had to be very intense to cope with their intensity levels."

On the penalty decision: "At the time, no doubt for me. All of a sudden, he is tripped and I assume he got a touch. Otherwise, he continues his run and tries to score.

"I am always unhappy when I concede a penalty. Sometimes you concede penalties when it's not a big chance. So I understand some frustration [from Bournemouth].

"As expected, a difficult game, they're so intense and they keep on going and keep on running - you know you need a bit of luck to win a game like this."

On Liverpool's Premier League form: "I think a lot about football, but I don't dream about football.

"It is special to win so many games away from home - the away the fans are supportive."

On watching Arsenal v Man City tomorrow: "Yes, I definitely will. But then the Ajax [game]."

It could have been a lot worse for Villa.

There is good intensity and good discipline from Wolves. Out of possession they're in good shape.

The whistle goes for half-time, much to Aston Villa's relief. Wolves could have been two or three goals up.

Villa are desperately waiting for that half-time whistle.

Wolves close again!

The Aston Villa defence is opened up once more as Goncalo Guedes darts between defenders to meet a ball into the box, but his shot is saved by Emi Martinez.

Another yellow card for Aston Villa, this time for Lamare Bogarde after he slid in late on Rayan Ait-Nouri.

I don't think Jose Sa has had a save to make yet.

Aston Villa have been poor going forward in this half.

It is a fantastic, cutting ball through the middle.

Guedes puts it wide but he has got to hit the target.

Are Wolves going to rue these misses? They have another big chance to add a second as Goncalo Guedes is sent through on goal, but he sweeps his effort wide. Had to get that on target at least.

A Pablo Sarabia free-kick into the box is headed over his own goal by Boubacar Kamara and Wolves have a corner, but nothing comes of it.

The set-pieces haven't been great in this game.
