Amine Adli scored a stoppage-time winner as Bournemouth ended Liverpool's 13-match unbeaten run in a Premier League thriller at Vitality Stadium.
After a goalmouth scramble, Adli finished in the fifth minute of time added on to send the home fans wild after Liverpool had initially come from two goals down to level.
With ten minutes to go, Dominik Szoboszlai scored his second free-kick of the week to equalise for Liverpool after Virgil van Dijk had initially pulled a goal back.
A calamitous seven-minute spell for Liverpool saw Arne Slot's side go two goals down on the south coast.
Evanilson gave the Cherries the lead in the 26th minute after Van Dijk failed to clear the ball and Joe Gomez was injured as he clashed with goalkeeper Alisson while trying to block Evanilson's strike.
With Gomez off the pitch and Wataru Endo ready to replace him, Liverpool did not kick the ball out of play and carried on playing with 10 men for seven minutes.
In the 33rd minute, Alex Jimenez got on the end of a through ball from James Hill and finished through Alisson's legs to double Bournemouth's lead.
Liverpool then made the change and showed great resilience to come back into the game with Van Dijk heading in Szoboszlai's corner on the brink of half-time, before Mohamed Salah, from a free-kick, rolled the ball into the path of Szoboszlai who fired into the bottom corner past Djordje Petrovic to level.
Both sides had chances to win it with Alisson tipping Ryan Christie's effort over before Petrovic pulled off a great stop to deny Florian Wirtz.
And in stoppage time, Adli's goal meant Liverpool lost for the first time since November – though they are yet to win a Premier League game in 2025. (BBC)
