<\/p>\n
Goals from Evanilson and Alex Jimenez put the home side in a commanding position but Liverpool hit back through Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai to level. <\/p>\n
However, Bournemouth won for just the second time in 15 matches after Adli fired in with virtually the last kick of the game.<\/p>\n
Defeat will intensify the scrutiny on Liverpool boss Arne Slot with the Reds likely to fall outside of the Premier League\u2019stop four after Sunday\u2019s fixtures. <\/p>\n
Slot, who guided Liverpool to Premier League glory last season, had steadied the ship after a run of nine defeats in 12 games earlier in the campaign. <\/p>\n
But the Dutchman has attracted criticism for Liverpool\u2019s uninspiring performances, even during their unbeaten run, and theyare now winless in five league games. <\/p>\n
The Reds put in a commanding performance to beat Marseille 3-0 and close in on the Champions League last 16 in midweek.<\/p>\n

But they again struggled when faced with the rigours of breaking down a Premier League defence after gifting the Cherries a 2-0 lead. <\/p>\n
The visitors dominated the ball throughout, but were made to pay for two defensive lapses in seven first-half minutes.<\/p>\n
Van Dijk was too casual as he tried to flick Marcos Senesi\u2019s ball over the top behind for a corner and Alex Scott pouncedto cross for Evanilson to hammer home. <\/p>\n
In trying to prevent the goal, Joe Gomez picked up an injury to further deplete Liverpool\u2019s already threadbare options atcentre-back. <\/p>\n
The visitors were down to 10 men as Wataru Endo waited to replace Gomez when Bournemouth doubled their lead.<\/p>\n
Milos Kerkez was caught sleeping on his return to the Vitality Stadium to allow Jimenez to sneak in behind and slot in his first Bournemouth goal. <\/p>\n
Van Dijk atoned for his previous error to begin the Liverpool fightback when he headed in Szoboszlai\u2019s corner.<\/p>\n
Andy Robertson replaced Kerkez at halftime despite being linked with a move to Tottenham before the transfer window closes in just over a week\u2019s time. <\/p>\n
Liverpool had little to show for their domination of the ball in the second period until Szoboszlai\u2019s strike sparked a wild finale. <\/p>\n
The Hungarian slotted a free-kick under the Marseille wall on Wednesday and this time used a flick from Cody Gakpo to work an angle to blast into the far corner. <\/p>\n
Almost straight from kick-off, Liverpool needed Alisson Becker to produce a brilliant save from Ryan Christie to prevent Bournemouthretaking the lead. <\/p>\n
Evanilson then wasted a glorious chance to win the game when the Brazilian slotted wide with just Alisson to beat.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth could also have lost it when goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic made a fine save to prevent Florian Wirtz from finding the bottom corner. <\/p>\n
But Andoni Iraola\u2019s men were rewarded for going for the win when Adli smashed in from a narrow angle after Liverpool failed to clear a long throw. <\/p>\n
Victory lifts Bournemouth up to 13th and 10 points clear of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n
SPURS MANAGER FEELING THE HEAT<\/p>\n
Thomas Frank faced fresh calls for his dismissal from angry Tottenham fans after a dispiriting 2-2 draw at Premier League strugglers Burnley on Saturday as Bournemouth ended Liverpool\u2019s long unbeaten run. <\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Manchester City beat bottom club Wolves 2-0 to close to within four points of leaders Arsenal, who host Manchester United on Sunday. <\/p>\n
Spurs boss Frank is under intense pressure just months into his reign at the London club, seemingly powerless to halt a slidedown the table. <\/p>\n
The Dane breathed a sigh of relief after a 2-0 midweek win against Borussia Dortmund kept his team flying high in the Champions League but they are floundering domestically. <\/p>\n
Captain Cristian Romero\u2019s flying last-minute header salvaged a point for the visitors at Turf Moor but it was not enough toplacate frustrated fans. <\/p>\n
Tottenham had taken the lead courtesy of Micky van de Ven\u2019s strike before goals from Axel Tuanzebe and substitute Lyle Fosterturned the match on its head. <\/p>\n
A large section of the travelling fans made it clear they had run out of patience with Frank, who insisted the team were working \u201cvery hard\u201d. <\/p>\n
Tottenham\u2019s winless league run in 2026 is now five matches and they sit 14th in the table, eight points above the bottom three.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure they can recognise and acknowledge, especially the first half, the improvement there,\u201d said former Brentford boss Frank. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe could and should have been out of sight. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut also they acknowledge the willpower and character of the team that keep running, keep fighting to the end.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just need to keep going. We do so many things right, but there\u2019s no doubt, it\u2019s not dropping so easy for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

CITY HANDLE BUSINESS<\/p>\n
Earlier, Pep Guardiola\u2019s City went into their match against bottom side smarting after an embarrassing 3-1 Champions League defeat at Norwegian side Bodo\/Glimt. <\/p>\n
Erling Haaland was left on the bench after a lean spell and centre-back Marc Guehi made his debut after his move from Crystal Palace, easing City\u2019s crippling defensive crisis that has claimed John Stones, Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol. <\/p>\n
Egypt forward Omar Marmoush put the home side ahead early, finishing crisply from a Matheus Nunes cross for his first Premier League goal of the season. <\/p>\n
City made it 2-0 shortly before halftime when Antoine Semenyo scored his third goal for the club in all competitions sincearriving at the Etihad from Bournemouth earlier this month. <\/p>\n
The win lifts City to 46 points — four behind Arsenal.<\/p>\n
Fulham came back from a goal down to beat Brighton 2-1 at Craven Cottage, with Harry Wilson grabbing a winner in stoppagetime. <\/p>\n
West Ham blew Sunderland away 3-1 to make it two wins out of two and climb to within two points of Premier League safety.<\/p>\n
The home side effectively had the game sewn up by halftime after Crysencio Summerville\u2019s opener, Jarrod Bowen\u2019s penalty anda long-range rocket from Mateus Fernandes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool\u2019s 13-game unbeaten end has come to a stunning halt after conceding a 95th-minute goal against Bournemouth in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":435399,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,85,41,39,42,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-435398","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-top-news","12":"tag-top-stories","13":"tag-topnews","14":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435398\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/435399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=435398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
