Here Is The Easy Money-Making Trick Everyone Is Talking About! Learn More Here!
Liverpool’s hopes of securing a top-four place this season took a hit on Wednesday as they suffered defeat away to relegation-battling Bournemouth.
Philip Billing scored the only goal of the game to secure a 1-0 victory over Jurgen Klopp’s Reds, just six days after suffering an embarrassing 7-0 home loss to Manchester United.
Mohamed Salah wasted a great chance to equalise in the second half, blazing his penalty kick wide of the post.
It was Bournemouth who had the first opportunity of the afternoon; striker Dominic Solanke narrowly avoided breaking the deadlock but shot beyond Alisson’s reach into the side netting.
The Cherries were given another boost when birthday boy Andrew Robertson forced Neto into making a smart stop at his near post.
Birthdays were something for both sets of fans to be cheerful about though – David Brooks made his return for Bournemouth after 525 days out with Hodgkin lymphoma – and it was he who set up Billing’s close range finish shortly before half time.
Liverpool came close through Virgil van Dijk and Diogo Jota – producing some good moves without being able to find a way back into the game.
Despite Klopp’s second half substitutions, Salah couldn’t make amends from 12 yards out as Ryan Christie also tested Alisson late on as Bournemouth held firm for their second win in 11 Premier League games – much to Gary O’Neil’s relief – and ended Liverpool’s unbeaten run in 2021.
