Bournemouth snatched a dramatic 3-2 victory over Liverpool with the last meaningful kick of the game, as Amine Adli's stoppage-time strike settled a breathless Premier League contest. The hosts had surged into a 2-0 lead, watched Liverpool claw their way back to parity, and then seized all three points at the death to stun Arne Slot's previously unbeaten side.
The result delivers only Bournemouth's second win since October and just their second victory in 14 matches after a run of one win in 13, while inflicting a seventh Premier League defeat of the season on Liverpool. It also brings to an abrupt halt a 13-game unbeaten stretch for Slot's team in all competitions, a sequence that had been tempered by four consecutive league draws but still underlined their recent resilience.
Bournemouth punish early defensive lapses to seize control
Liverpool contributed heavily to their own downfall in the opening stages, with some haphazard defending from Virgil van Dijk gifting Bournemouth the breakthrough. Evanilson was the beneficiary, capitalising on the error to put the hosts in front and inject belief into Andoni Iraola's side after their difficult run of results.
