Amine Adli Strikes In Stoppage Time As Bournemouth Shock Liverpool 3-2

Wale busari03 mins

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.

Arsenal Miss Chance To Extend Premier League Lead After Goalless Draw With Liverpool

Wale busari02 mins

Arsenal were held to a 0-0 draw by Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday, missing the opportunity to stretch their Premier League lead to eight points. Liverpool, who have struggled for consistency this season, produced a composed performance that ended Arsenal’s five-match winning streak. The closest either side came to breaking the deadlock was when Liverpool right-back Conor Bradley cleverly chipped Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya following a mix-up with center back William Saliba, only for the ball to bounce off the crossbar. Arsenal managed just four shots on target and looked unusually disjointed, leaving home fans frustrated. Despite the setback, the Gunners still head the table, maintaining a six-point advantage over second-place Manchester City and third-place Aston Villa with 17 games remaining. Both City and Villa drew on Wednesday against Brighton and Crystal Palace, respectively, keeping Arsenal strong favorites for their first league title since 2004. Liverpool remain in fourth place, extending their unbeaten league run to 10 games. The defending champions looked more solid at the back but lacked firepower up front, missing injured strikers Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike, while Mohamed Salah is away with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations. Adding to their concerns, Bradley had to be carried off on a stretcher in stoppage time with a suspected ankle injury, casting a shadow over Liverpool’s performance.

Wale busari01 mins

Liverpool fought back twice to secure a 2-2 draw away at Fulham in the 20th week of the Premier League. Fulham opened the scoring in the 17th minute when Wilson found the net, giving the home side an early advantage. Liverpool responded in the second half, with Wirtz leveling the scores in the 57th minute. Gakpo then put the Reds ahead during stoppage time, only for Fulham to snatch a dramatic equalizer in the 97th minute through Reed. The result leaves Liverpool in fourth place on the league table with 34 points, while Fulham sits 11th with 28 points. Elsewhere in the league, Tottenham and Sunderland played out a 1-1 draw, Newcastle secured a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace, and Brentford defeated Everton 4-2 on the road.

Salah Returns With Assist As Ekitike Double Fires Liverpool To 2-0 Win Over Brighton

Wale busari04 mins

Mohamed Salah enjoyed a notable return to action for Liverpool by providing an assist as Arne Slot’s side secured a win over Brighton, powered by a brace from Hugo Ekitike. The victory lifted Liverpool up to sixth place in the table and stretched their unbeaten run to five matches, while also delivering their first success at Anfield since November 4. Attention was firmly on Salah, who was included in the matchday squad after being omitted from the midweek Champions League win at Inter Milan following his widely discussed outburst at Leeds United. Starting on the bench, the Egyptian was introduced in the 26th minute after Joe Gomez was forced off injured, with Dominik Szoboszlai switching to right-back. Liverpool made a dream start, scoring inside the opening minute. Gomez rose to meet a ball into the box and nodded it into the path of Ekitike, who controlled and fired past Bart Verbruggen after just 46 seconds — the fastest Premier League goal this season. Brighton had opportunities to draw level but failed to capitalise. Alisson denied Diego Gomez when he broke through on goal, and the same player later missed an open net early in the second half. Those missed chances proved costly as Liverpool doubled their advantage on the hour mark. Salah’s corner found Ekitike unmarked at the back post, and the French striker headed in his second of the afternoon. The goal took Ekitike to 10 league goals for the season and marked his second consecutive double, following his two strikes in the 3-3 draw at Leeds. Salah’s assist was historic, moving him to 277 goal involvements in 302 Premier League appearances for Liverpool — the highest tally by any player at a single club, surpassing Wayne Rooney’s record at Manchester United. He was lively after coming on and nearly crowned his return with a goal late on, but fired wide in stoppage time after being set up by Federico Chiesa. After the final whistle, Salah acknowledged the Anfield crowd from all sides of the stadium before preparing to join up with the national team ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations, where he could miss up to eight matches should Egypt reach the final. Despite ongoing uncertainty over his future at the club, Liverpool recorded back-to-back wins and clean sheets, while Brighton slipped to ninth place.

Mohamed Salah Admits Liverpool Relationship Has Collapsed As Future Remains Uncertain

Wale busari03 mins

Mohamed Salah has lifted the lid on deepening tension at Liverpool, admitting he now feels isolated at the club and has lost all connection with head coach Arne Slot. The Egyptian forward was again left watching from the sidelines during Saturday’s 3-3 draw with Leeds United, marking the third match in a row he has started on the bench. For a player who has delivered 250 goals in 420 appearances, the situation has become increasingly difficult to accept. After the match, Salah spoke with raw emotion about how events have unfolded. “I think it is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame. I said many times before that I had a good relationship with the manager, and all of a sudden we don’t have any relationship. I don’t know why but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn’t want me in the club. It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That is how I am feeling.” Despite the frustration, the Liverpool icon made it clear his love for the club remains strong. “This club, I will always support it. My kids will always support it. I love the club so much and I always will,” he added. Still, he insisted the current situation is unacceptable. “It is not acceptable to me, to be fair. I don’t get it. It’s like I’m being thrown more under the bus. I don’t think I’m the problem. I have done so much for this club.” Salah also addressed the idea that he must constantly prove himself to earn game time. “I don’t have to go every day fighting for my position because I earned it. I am not bigger than anyone but I earned my position. It’s football. It is what it is.” With the Africa Cup of Nations approaching on December 15, the 31-year-old revealed that his future at Anfield is now uncertain, even though he only signed a new two-year deal with the club back in April.

Liverpool Humiliated 4-1 at Home by PSV Eindhoven, Slot Faces Growing Pressure

Wale busari03 mins

Liverpool’s struggles in Europe deepened with a shocking 4-1 home defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League, marking their third consecutive loss while conceding three or more goals in each match. The night began poorly for the Reds when Virgil van Dijk handled a corner early in the game, allowing Ivan Perisic to calmly convert from the penalty spot and give PSV a surprising lead. Liverpool responded quickly. Cody Gakpo’s initial shot was saved by Matej Kovar, but the rebound fell to Dominik Szoboszlai, who tapped in from close range to level the score. PSV thought they had regained the lead through Yarek Gasiorowski shortly after, but his goal was ruled out for offside. Despite dominating much of the first half and forcing Kovar into several key saves—including a one-handed stop from Hugo Ekitike—Liverpool could not take the lead before the break. Van Dijk even saw a header rebound off the crossbar. The second half quickly turned against the Reds. Mauro Júnior’s precise pass found Guus Til, who slotted home PSV’s second goal past Giorgi Mamardashvili. Liverpool’s woes were compounded when Ekitike was injured, forcing an unplanned substitution for Alexander Isak. PSV extended their advantage just over 15 minutes from time after an Ibrahima Konate error. Ricardo Pepi’s initial strike hit the post, but Couhaib Driouech was on hand to finish into an empty net. Slot made a final substitution, bringing on Chiesa for Konate, but it proved too little, too late. In stoppage time, Driouech completed the 4-1 rout, sending Anfield fans streaming for the exits. The defeat adds to mounting pressure on Liverpool manager Arne Slot, whose position is now under intense scrutiny. PSV celebrated one of their most memorable nights in European competition, leaving Liverpool to confront yet another humiliating setback.

Nottingham Forest Shock Liverpool With Comprehensive 3-0 Victory To Deepen Reds’ Premier League Crisis

Wale busari02 mins

Nottingham Forest produced a stunning upset at Anfield, cruising to a 3-0 victory that further damaged Liverpool’s fading title push and secured Forest’s first consecutive league wins on the ground in more than six decades. Murillo opened the scoring in the 33rd minute after Liverpool failed to clear a corner. The hosts protested that Dan Ndoye was offside and obstructing Alisson’s view, but the goal was allowed to stand. Forest struck again almost immediately after the restart, with Neco Williams pulling the ball back for Nicolo Savona to drive beyond Alisson. Liverpool’s misery deepened in the 78th minute when the goalkeeper parried Omari Hutchinson’s effort, only for Morgan Gibbs-White to pounce and finish from the middle of the box. The defeat marked Arne Slot’s sixth loss in seven league matches, leaving Liverpool provisionally 11th on 18 points, eight behind leaders Arsenal. Forest climbed to 16th with the emphatic win.

Manchester City Cruise Past Liverpool 3-0 At Etihad With Haaland On Target

Wale busari02 mins

Pep Guardiola marked his 1,000th managerial game in style as Manchester City dismantled Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium. In a clash between two sides chasing Premier League leaders Arsenal, City dominated from start to finish, cutting the Gunners’ lead to just four points. Erling Haaland, continuing his phenomenal scoring run, set the tone with his 28th goal of the season for club and country. Earlier, he had a penalty saved by Liverpool keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili after being fouled by the goalkeeper for bringing down Jeremy Doku, but Haaland made amends in the 29th minute with a towering header from Matheus Nunes’ cross, completing a slick passing move. It marked his first goal against Liverpool in a match featuring Virgil van Dijk. Liverpool thought they had equalised before the break when Van Dijk headed in Mohamed Salah’s corner, but the goal was disallowed for offside after Andy Robertson inadvertently blocked City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma’s line of sight. City added a second in first-half stoppage time when Nico Gonzalez’s 20-yard strike deflected off Van Dijk, wrong-footing Mamardashvili. After the interval, Doku continued to terrorise Liverpool’s backline, particularly Conor Bradley, and produced a moment of magic to seal the win. The Belgian winger curled a stunning 20-yard shot beyond Mamardashvili to make it 3-0, putting Guardiola’s milestone game firmly beyond doubt.
