AFC Bournemouth stunned the defending champions Liverpool today at Vitality Stadium. The Arne Slot boys struggled a lot in the game and had gone 2-0 behind in the first half, although they bounced back and had a 2-2 tie. But Liverpool could not survive in the end as Bournemouth scored in the injury time to secure all three points at Vitality Stadium. Liverpool were on a 13-game unbeaten run, which Bournemouth ended today. Although the Reds were unbeaten before today's game, they had four consecutive draws in the English Premier League. Liverpool will get out of the top four if either Man United or Chelsea wins tomorrow.

Match Report

The first half was dominated by the home team as they scored twice before the break. Bournemouth got the lead when Evanilson broke the deadlock with a brilliant goal in the 26th minute. Alex Jimenez doubled the lead as he found the back of the net with the help of J. Hill in the 33rd minute. But Liverpool got back into the game when captain Virgil Van Dijk scored the first goal for Liverpool in this match. He converted Szoboszlai's corner kick into the goal with a brilliant header in the injury time of the first half. Liverpool finally found the equalizer just ten minutes before full-time when Dominik Szoboszlai scored a fantastic goal from a free-kick. It seemed the match would end in a 2-2 tie, but the home side refused to give up. During the injury time of the match, Bournemouth's Amine Adli scored the golden goal, which secured full three points for the home side. Liverpool's boss was very upset following the defeat and stated that his players ran out of energy to defend the game. Arne Slot said, "Frustrating, of course, because conceding a goal is always frustrating but especially if there's no time left to come back into the game. I think it's safe to say they could have scored the 3-2 also a little bit earlier and what I mean with that is I think after we scored the 2-2, we were still trying but I think it's safe to say a few players of ours ran out of energy. I cannot even criticise them for that because two days ago we had to play an away game in Europe. We are the only team that played [in the] Champions League that has two days between in this time."
