A dramatic stoppage-time goal handed AFC Bournemouth a thrilling 3-2 victory over Liverpool, condemning Arne Slot's side to a fifth straight Premier League game without a win and giving the Cherries just their second success in 15 meetings with the Reds, Softfootball reports.
Liverpool arrived on the south coast buoyed by a convincing 3-0 away win over Marseille in midweek , a result that briefly eased the frustration built up from a run of league draws. However, that European sharpness did not immediately carry over. The opening exchanges were cagey, with Mohamed Salah firing a hopeful effort wide before Bournemouth slowly began to grow into the contest.
The hosts struck first midway through the half after Liverpool were caught out defensively. Virgil van Dijk misread a ball over the top from Marcos Senesi, allowing Alex Scott to reach the byline and square for Evanilson, who powered his finish beyond Alisson. Bournemouth doubled their advantage soon after, as Alex Jimenez was played onside and calmly rolled the ball through the goalkeeper's legs to put the Cherries firmly in control.
