Bournemouth beat Liverpool at the death with a 95th-minute goal | OneFootball

Liverpool lost 3-2 to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium in a thrilling match on matchday 23 of the Premier League, which was decided in the last gasp.

Arne Slot's team dominated the early stages of the match, although the hosts created danger from quick transitions. In the 26th minute, Alex Scott took advantage of an error in Virgil van Dijk's clearance and sent a cross that Evanilson connected with his right foot to open the scoring.

The goal strengthened Bournemouth, and in the 33rd minute, James Hill threaded a great pass to Alejandro Jiménez, who broke free and finished with his right foot, sending the shot across to the far post defended by Alisson Becker, making it 2-0.

Before the break, Van Dijk redeemed himself for his initial mistake. The captain anticipated a corner kick and connected a powerful header to reduce the deficit, a 2-1 that brought Liverpool back into the game.

In the second half, Andoni Iraola's team came out determined not to give up space and to maintain the lead, while Slot made changes seeking more depth to break the solid local defense.

The equalizer came thanks to the skill of Dominik Szoboszlai, who took advantage of a set piece and unleashed a powerful right-footed shot for the 2-2, marking Liverpool's third free-kick goal of the season, all scored by Szoboszlai himself.

Bournemouth responded immediately and made it clear they were still fully in the game. In the 80th minute, Ryan Christie unleashed a violent shot to the top corner that Alisson Becker deflected with a spectacular save. Three minutes later, Christie escaped again and assisted Evanilson, who couldn't beat the Brazilian goalkeeper in a one-on-one, once again crucial in maintaining the draw.

Liverpool also had their chance in the final stretch. Florian Wirtz attacked the space, broke into the area, and fired a cross shot that forced Đorđe Petrović to shine with a great intervention to prevent the visitors' goal.

Adli, the standout with an agonizing goal

When the draw seemed sealed, the final blow came. In the 95th minute, after a throw-in that fell into the area like a corner kick, a series of defensive lapses allowed Amine Adli to connect inside the area to score the definitive 3-2 and seal an agonizing triumph for Bournemouth against Liverpool.

The final whistle confirmed an unforgettable night for the hosts and left the Reds empty-handed after a finish as unexpected as it was cruel.
