"As second-half stoppage time ticked into a fifth minute, the Bournemouth defender James Hill hurled a long throw into the box and, with Alisson slipping and sliding on the sodden turf, Amine Adli wellied in a winner with almost the last kick of the game to condemn Liverpool to defeat. Fifteen minutes earlier Dominik Szoboszlai cannoned in a stunning free-kick to haul Arne Slot's side level from two goals down."
"For Liverpool, this was another rather sobering experience. Virgil van Dijk made amends for presenting Bournemouth the lead and Milos Kerkez, who struggled on his return to the club and was exposed when Alex Jimenez doubled the hosts' lead, was hooked at the interval. On this evidence Liverpool would be naive to allow Andy Robertson to depart for Tottenham. Mohamed Salah was anonymous, his greatest contribution backheeling the ball to Szoboszlai for his goal."
"Liverpool made an encouraging start, Salah slicing wide from the edge of Bournemouth's 18-yard box after a Florian Wirtz layoff. Hill was busy at centre-back, snuffing the ball out when Salah looked to square for Cody Gakpo, preferred to Hugo Ekitike up front, and a few minutes later Hill cut the cord to Salah when Wirtz looked to play in the Egyptian. Adam Smith, the reliable Bournemouth captain, intervened when Wirtz squared the ball after reading Salah's cute pass."
Amine Adli's late finish secured a 3-2 Bournemouth victory over Liverpool after James Hill's long throw and Alisson's slip created the decisive chance. Marcos Senesi's over-the-top ball exposed Virgil van Dijk early, allowing Bournemouth to take the lead, and Alex Jimenez doubled the advantage. Dominik Szoboszlai struck a long-range free-kick to level the match, but Bournemouth regained control. Milos Kerkez was substituted at half-time after struggling on his return, Virgil van Dijk attempted to atone for his error, and Mohamed Salah had few notable contributions beyond setting up Szoboszlai's goal. Managers reacted emotionally on the touchline.
