Ben Fisher was at the Vitality this evening and has filed his match report, so we can all make sense of it.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIt was a massive moment,\u201d Bournemouth\u2019s Alex Scott tells Sky Sports when asked about that late winner. \u201cWe pride ourselves on pressing nonstop until the final whistle and we got our rewards there. We\u2019ve got to work nonstop for this manager and these fans.\u201d<\/p>\n He says he enjoys playing with Lewis Cook in the centre of midfield and that Junior Kroupi can always bring some magic playing in front of them.<\/p>\n On his England prospects ahead of the World Cup, he says: \u201cIt\u2019s a long way to go. I\u2019ve got to keep working hard. Fingers crossed I get another call in March.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n A pretty glum Virgil van Dijk speaks of his disappointment at losing so late on. \u201cLast minute of the game, very tough to take,\u201d he tells Sky Sports. \u201cWe worked very hard in the second half especially to get back in the game. To concede that late is very disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n He says he was \u201cclearly blocked\u201d for Bournemouth\u2019s winning goal. As for their first goal, he says the wind made the ball into the box difficult to judge and suggested maybe Liverpool should\u2019ve kicked the ball out to get their substitute on.<\/p>\n \u201cLosing never feels good, especially as a Liverpool<\/a> player,\u201d he continues. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to find consistency. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any question about our togetherness but the consistency still needs to be found. There was a lot of praise for our performance [against Marseille] and you lose a game like today and the other side of the world comes out.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n What does that mean for Liverpool<\/a>? Arne Slot won\u2019t be pleased with the fact they went behind while playing with 10 men but their defending was inexcusable at times. Dominik Szoboszlai looked to have rescued them again but another defensive lapse has cost them a draw and their 13-game unbeaten run.<\/p>\n They are now winless in five in the Premier League<\/a> and, should results go against them tomorrow, they could end the weekend as low as 8th in the table.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n James Hill had been causing Liverpool real bother all game with his long throws. Bournemouth<\/a> are rewarded for throwing bodies forward in the dying stages. I\u2019m not really sure what happened on the last throw \u2013 the ball hit the post at some point as various players descended on it in front of goal. Amine Adli somehow managed to poke it through a few bodies, including Alisson, and into the far side-netting from on the byline.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Bournemouth, who looked to have surrendered a two-goal lead after Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai\u2019s superb free-kick routine, snatch all three points with the last kick of the game and pick up only their second win since October.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Well, extraordinary. Andoni Iraola looks like he wants to cartwheel across the pitch. Arne Slot is in discussions with the officials.<\/p>\n Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola celebrates after the final whistle.

Adli wins a throw up the pitch and Gravenberch is booked for kicking the ball away.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+2 min: Salah hits a cross across goal but nobody in white can connect with it. Wirtz wins a corner. Bournemouth<\/a> send on Enes Unal for Evanilson.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+1 min: Wirtz escapes from Cook with some neat footwork and tries to disguise a pass to a teammate when the away fans wanted him to shoot.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min: Four minutes added on. It\u2019s been end-to-end since Szoboszlai\u2019s equaliser.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 89 min: A few hearts miss a beat in the Bournemouth<\/a> crowd as Hill passes the ball back towards his own goal and Petrovic has to move quickly to control it. Danger averted.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a014.18 EST<\/p>\n 87 min: Scott shoots over! It\u2019s not an easy chance and, left-footed, he clears the crossbar with a first-time shot from the edge of the box.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 86 min: So close for Liverpool! Wirtz goes low across Petrovic, who diverts the ball just wide of the far post. The referee didn\u2019t spot the goalkeeper\u2019s touch and it\u2019s a goal-kick.<\/p>\n Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz has a shot saved by Bournemouth goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.

Christie marauds into the Liverpool<\/a> half, plays a pass to Evanilson at just the right time but the Brazilian toes it just wide of the near post as Alisson closes him down.<\/p>\n Bournemouth’s Evanilson misses a chance to score. Photograph: Toby Melville\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a014.26 EST<\/p>\n 83 min: Ngumoha looks to cause trouble again, driving past Christie before going down under Jim\u00e9nez\u2019s challenge after overrunning the ball. He\u2019s made a real difference.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 81 min: What a save from Alisson! Bournemouth<\/a> try to hit back straight away with Christie smacking one goalwards from the edge of the box. Alisson sticks out a glove and tips it over.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Bournemouth 2-2 Liverpool (Szoboszlai 80)<\/p>\n Salah runs to take the free-kick but backheels it into Szoboszlai\u2019s path and the midfielder whips the ball into the far corner!

Photograph: Adam Davy\/PAShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a014.15 EST<\/p>\n 79 min: Ngumoha is getting some joy against Jim\u00e9nez. This time the youngster comes inside and Jim\u00e9nez eventually brings him down just outside the box, removing his boot in the process. Szoboszlai and Salah are eyeing this one up \u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 78 min: Nervy moments for the hosts as Ngumoha jinks past Jim\u00e9nez in the box, who sticks out a leg and clips him. The teenager is honest and stays on his feet, which should be applauded. Anyone more experienced would have gone down and probably won a penalty.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 76 min: Liverpool<\/a> try some intricate passing on the edge of the box. Ekitik\u00e9 rides a couple of challenges but then goes down in instalments and gets nothing from the referee.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 74 min: Ekitik\u00e9 loses the ball under pressure from Cook, who chooses to send a ball across the six-yard box when Evanilson had wanted it cut back.<\/p>\n Liverpool replace Gakpo with Rio Ngumoha.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 72 min: Scott\u2019s free-kick hits the top of the wall and Hill can wind up a long throw. Christie, Evanilson and Jim\u00e9nez all have a go at directing it goalwards but Alisson eventually gathers.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 70 min: Bournemouth<\/a> launch a counterattack and, after Van Dijk clears a cross, Ekitik\u00e9 is penalised for a challenge on Scott despite perhaps getting the ball. Bournemouth have a free-kick in a central position about 30 yards from goal \u2026<\/p>\n I don\u2019t believe it. Photograph: Adam Davy\/PAShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a014.10 EST<\/p>\n 69 min: Gakpo and Robertson combine down the left, with the Scot\u2019s cross blocked out for a corner by Smith. Szoboszlai takes and Petrovic punches clear.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 67 min: Gravenberch is next to have a go at goal, working the ball on to his left and dragging a shot not far wide of the post. Decent effort.<\/p>\n Kroupi is replaced by Ryan Christie for Bournemouth<\/a>.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 66 min: Another long Hill throw is cleared by Liverpool, who get bodies forward quickly. The ball falls to Jones on the edge of the box but his shot is blocked.

Hill\u2019s long throw is then cleared by Salah.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.52 EST<\/p>\n 62 min: Bournemouth<\/a> have lost any kind of threat going forward. Liverpool come again with Szoboszlai, who clips the ball into the box where it\u2019s blocked by Senesi. Handball, Liverpool say. His arm was tucked into his body \u2013 no dice.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 60 min: Gakpo come inside near the area and finds Salah, who returns the ball but Gakpo\u2019s shot is blocked. Liverpool<\/a> trying to turn the screw.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 59 min: Liverpool<\/a> subs \u2013 Hugo Ekitik\u00e9 and Curtis Jones come on for Mac Allister and Frimpong. Szoboszlai goes to right-back, Jones in midfield.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 57 min: Bournemouth<\/a> can\u2019t get out at the moment. Frimpong forces another corner, which Salah gifts to Petrovic. Liverpool are preparing changes.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 55 min: Liverpool<\/a> continue to play without much of a focal point. Gakpo is often drawn out to the left, leaving Szoboszlai or Salah (or sometimes no one) to occupy the centre-backs. A Szoboszlai corner is plucked out of the sky by Petrovic.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 53 min: Endo drives into a gap in the Bournemouth<\/a> midfield and attempts a bit of a Hollywood ball to Gakpo through the middle. It\u2019s not far from coming off but Petrovic reads it.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 51 min: Jim\u00e9nez tries to bring Bournemouth<\/a> out, driving forward down the right before involving Kroupi. Van Dijk is able to intercept the ball back to Jim\u00e9nez and Liverpool launch an attack. Salah gets to the byline on the left and crosses into the box but nobody is there.<\/p>\n Mohamed Salah beats James Hill and sticks it in the mixer. Photograph: Tolga Akmen\/EPAShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.52 EST<\/p>\n 49 min: Robertson\u2019s first involvement is to run on to a ball down the left and cut it back first-time across the penalty area, where Frimpong\u2019s shot is blocked.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 47 min: Hill lobs a throw into the Liverpool<\/a> box. The ball slips out of Alisson\u2019s hands like a bar of soap and Liverpool concede a corner. Cook\u2019s delivery is over everyone and out for a goal-kick.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Restart<\/p>\n The second half is under way. Milos Kerkez has been hooked, with Spurs-linked Andy Robertson on in his place.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.34 EST<\/p>\n Match reports: Read about the day\u2019s Premier League<\/a> events<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Ian Copestake emails: \u201cThe Guardian recently did a list of top time loop movies. If Salah is taken off to accommodate Ekitike then come full time Bill Murray might be waiting for Mo in the freezone with his mic.\u201d<\/p>\n Martin Kerr has a less than glowing review: \u201cSalah\u2019s legs have gone, and all his confidence and swagger along with them. He\u2019s gotten outrun twice by Adam Smith!\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Joe Pearson writes in: \u201cBy my count, Van Dijk is responsible for all three goals: completely shutting off for the first (a bad habit of his), playing Jimenez onside for the second, then scoring the third. Big half for the Dutchman!\u201d<\/p>\n Peter Oh offers: \u201cVan Dijk was let down by his left foot and left shoulder on the Bournemouth<\/a> goals, but he has made amends with his head.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Let\u2019s not forget Bournemouth<\/a> have won just once since October and haven\u2019t beaten Liverpool since 2023. It\u2019ll take some mental fortitude to resist Liverpool for the whole of the second half but, then again, Arne Slot\u2019s team have looked very vulnerable at the back.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Half-time: Bournemouth 2-1 Liverpool<\/p>\n Virgil van Dijk\u2019s header rescued something for Liverpool out of that first half. Goals from Evanilson \u2013 while Liverpool were playing with 10 men with Joe Gomez off injured \u2013 and \u00c1lex Jim\u00e9nez had given Bournemouth<\/a> a pretty convincing lead.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.21 EST<\/p>\n 45+4 min: Salah\u2019s free-kick is headed away at the near post by Truffert.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45+3 min: Liverpool<\/a> win a free-kick on the right of the penalty area after Adli trips Frimpong. Kroupi goes into the book for wellying the ball up the other end of the pitch after the whistle went.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45+2 min: Wirtz tries to find Gakpo in the area but Bournemouth<\/a> cut it out. One minute of added time remains.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Bournemouth 2-1 Liverpool (Van Dijk 45)<\/p>\n Liverpool are back in it! One Salah corner is poor and flicked out for another. Szoboszlai takes this one from the other side and Van Dijk glances it past Petrovic at the near post. What a lift that will be.<\/p>\n Virgil van Dijk glances a header goalwards \u2026 Photograph: Michael Steele\/Getty ImagesWhich beats Bournemouth keeper Djordje Petrovic and gets the visitors back into the game. Photograph: Toby Melville\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.55 EST<\/p>\n 44 min: Good chance for Salah. Gakpo lifts a ball towards the winger at the back post but his volley is weak and easily held by Petrovic. That\u2019s Liverpool\u2019s first shot on target.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.15 EST<\/p>\n 43 min: Endo slides in to try to stop a Bournemouth<\/a> breakaway on halfway but Adli scampers away with the ball. His cross into the box is into a good area but safely gathered by Alisson.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 42 min: Liverpool<\/a> want a penalty as Gakpo runs into Hill in the area but they won\u2019t get anything for that. Wirtz gives a foul away straight after, only giving the home supporters another reason to cheer sarcastically.<\/p>\n
