"BOURNEMOUTH, England -- Arne Slot has admitted Liverpool "ran out of energy" in their 3-2 defeat to AFC Bournemouth and said his team only had themselves to blame for more dropped points in the Premier League. The Reds came back from two goals down at the Vitality Stadium before Amine Adli netted a winner in the 95th minute to seal all three points for the hosts."
""It's frustrating because it is always frustrating to concede a goal but especially if there is no time to get it back," the Liverpool boss said. "But I think it is safe to say they could have made it 3-2 a little bit earlier. When we made it 2-2 we were still trying but I think it is safe to say a few players of ours ran out of energy.""
""I cannot even criticise them because two days ago we played away in Europe and we are the only team that played in the Champions League on Wednesday and has just two days in between, another away game against one of the most intense teams in the league." Slot made just one change to the lineup -- Cody Gakpo coming in for Hugo Ekitike -- that registered a 3-0 Champions League win in Marseille on Wednesday evening."
Arne Slot admitted Liverpool ran out of energy in a 3-2 defeat to AFC Bournemouth after Amine Adli scored a 95th-minute winner. Liverpool recovered from two goals down to level at 2-2 but conceded late. The result leaves Liverpool winless in five Premier League matches and with just four points from the last 15, remaining fourth and 14 points behind leaders Arsenal. Slot noted the team had only two days' recovery after a Champions League away win in Marseille and made minimal changes due to injuries to defenders Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni and forwards Alexander Isak and Federico Chiesa.
