Szoboszlai Gets 8, Gakpo With 6 | Liverpool Players Rated In Disappointing Loss Vs Bournemouth | OneFootball

Liverpool faced off against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium earlier this evening as they hoped to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Reds made a poor start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 26th minute when Evanilson found the back of the net. Alex Jimenez doubled his team’s advantage in the 33rd minute. Virgil Van Dijk got a goal back for Liverpool in the first half injury-time as Arne Slot’s men went into the half-time break 2-1 down on the scoreline.

Dominik Szoboszlai equalised with a great strike in the 80th minute. However, Bournemouth scored the winning goal in injury time thanks to Amine Adli’s effort from close range. The contest finished with the Merseyside club suffering a disappointing 3-2 loss away from home.
