The pressure was on Liverpool after Manchester City's return to form, but the Reds proved they are ready for the title run-in with a convincing display.
Sadio Mane opened the scoring after 24 minutes as the Cherries collapsed early, and Georginio Wijnaldum doubled the advantage 10 minutes later with a sublime finish.
Mohamed Salah consolidated his place as the division's top scorer after netting immediately after the restart, giving Liverpool the three points to go top of the league once again.
Manchester United had a comfortable day at the office, with the Red Devils winning 3-0 at Fulham in the capital.
Paul Pogba was in electric form in midfield, grabbing a brace to complement Anthony Martial's world-class strike.
United took the lead through Pogba on 14 minutes after weathering an early storm from the hosts. The French World Cup winner burst into the box and beat goalkeeper Sergio Rico at his near post for the opener.
The second followed nine minutes later. Martial picked the ball up and dribbled half the length of the pitch to score a wonderful goal after a cool finish.
Martial's effort ripped the air out of Fulham's lungs, and United remained in control for the rest of the encounter.
Pogba claimed his second after Juan Mata was fouled in the box. The Frenchman made it three after 65 minutes from the penalty spot, allowing Solskjaer to rest players in the latter stages.

Alex Iwobi gave the away team the perfect start with a goal after 16 minutes. Alexandre Lacazette appeared to have settled the match with a second shortly before the interval.
However, the hosts plugged away in search of a route back into the game, and they grabbed one back through Saed Kolasinac's own goal in the first minute of injury time.
The goal came too late, and the Terriers will be disappointed not to have earned a share of the points.
It was an emotional day for Cardiff as they remembered Emiliano Sala, whose body was formally identified on Thursday after the discovery of a plane wreckage in the English Channel.

However, there was further drama just moments later as Kenneth Zohore recorded an unlikely winner for the visitors, sparking emotional scenes from players, staff and travelling fans.
Everton were beaten on the road as they were shutout by Watford. Andre Gray's second-half goal was the difference—the pressure builds on Toffees boss Marco Silva.

Mark Noble's penalty opened the scoring after 27 minutes, and Palace had to wait until deep in the second half to find a goal.
Once again, Wilfried Zaha proved himself to be his club's most dynamic talent, with his deflected shot hitting the back of the net after 76 minutes.
