Liverpool’s unbeaten run went up in smoke as Amine Adli scored a stoppage-time winner for Bournemouth in a dramatic 3-2 victory.
Arne Slot’s team were unbeaten across 13 games in all competitions – a run slightly skewed by four straight draws in the Premier League – but fell to a last-gasp Adli strike having staged a fightback from 2-0 down.
