Amine Adli Strikes In Stoppage Time As Bournemouth Shock Liverpool 3-2
Liverpool suffered a dramatic 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on matchday 23 of the Premier League, with the hosts snatching victory in stoppage time. Arne Slot’s side dominated the early stages, but Bournemouth threatened on quick transitions. In the 26th minute, Alex Scott capitalized on a misclearance by Virgil van Dijk, sending in a cross that Evanilson slotted home to give the home team the lead. Bournemouth doubled their advantage in the 33rd minute when James Hill set up Alejandro Jiménez, who broke free and fired a right-footed shot past Alisson Becker to make it 2-0. Liverpool pulled one back before halftime as Van Dijk redeemed himself, powering a header from a corner to reduce the deficit to 2-1 and reignite the Reds’ hopes. The second half saw Liverpool push for an equalizer, with Dominik Szoboszlai producing a stunning free-kick to level the score at 2-2, marking his third set-piece goal of the season. Bournemouth remained dangerous, with Ryan Christie testing Alisson on two occasions—once with a thunderous shot and later setting up Evanilson in a one-on-one, only for the Liverpool goalkeeper to deny both chances. Liverpool also threatened in the closing stages through Florian Wirtz, but Đorđe Petrović made a crucial save to keep the score level. However, the match was sealed in the 95th minute. Following a throw-in that functioned like a corner, defensive lapses allowed Amine Adli to finish calmly inside the box, securing a 3-2 victory for Bournemouth and leaving Liverpool stunned. The final whistle confirmed a heartbreaking night for the Reds, as Bournemouth celebrated a late and unforgettable triumph.
