The long-range pass from Henderson found Oxlade-Chamberlain perfectly for the midfielder to tap the ball into the Bournemouth goal on the volley for Liverpool’s opening goal of the game. While Oxlade-Chamberlain’s deft finish got the goal, some Liverpool fans were quick to point out Henderson’s fantastic assist.
That long pass, man !

When you miss Stevie G long pass then this is what you get from his apprentice.
It was an incredible assist.— Richard Moshi (@RichieOfficial3) December 9, 2019
What do we think?
The link-up play between Henderson and Oxlade-Chamberlain was executed to perfection for the first goal in the 3-0 victory. Now that Jurgen Klopp’s side are eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table even before January, it would be a good time for the likes of Oxlade-Chamberlain to get his confidence up. This goal against Bournemouth would be a great confidence boost for the Englishman.
