The Reds looked set to pick up a comfortable three points against Eddie Howe’s men, but the home side fought back to steal the win with a last minute goal
Liverpool’s title challenge suffered a stunning late blow as Bournemouth came from two goals down to beat Jurgen Klopp’s men 4-3 in a thrilling clash at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday.
Ryan Fraser and Steve Cook struck in the latter stages of the second half before Nathan Ake hit an injury-time winner for the home side, who had trailed 2-0 at half-time and 3-1 with 25 minutes to play.
Sadio Mane and Divock Origi had put Liverpool in charge at the break after they capitalised on two errors in two minutes from goalkeeper Artur Boruc, and although Callum Wilson halved the deficit from the penalty spot, Emre Can’s superb strike looked set to hand the visitors a fifth win in six league games.
But Bournemouth, who had lost seven of their previous nine meetings with Liverpool in all competitions, sprung an unlikely comeback and snatched a winner in the 93rd minute after Loris Karius spilled the ball into Ake’s path.
The result means Liverpool remain four points off leaders Chelsea, while Bournemouth climb into the top 10.
