Bournemouth pulled off a stunning 2-1 comeback against Liverpool in stoppage time to snatch a crucial Premier League victory at Anfield.
With the score level at 2-2 and five minutes of stoppage time remaining, Bournemouth defender James Hill launched one final long throw into the box, with Ryan Gravenberch inadvertently poking the ball against a post in an attempt to clear. Alisson slipped on the sodden surface as Amine Adli slotted in from a tight angle to seal the win for the Cherries.
Bournemouth had taken a commanding 2-0 lead, courtesy of goals from Evanilson and Dominik Szoboszlai, who scored a stunning free-kick after a Ryan Christie intervention. Liverpool, however, showed signs of life through substitute Rio Ngumoha, whose late equaliser was followed by two successive Bournemouth efforts that were repelled by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson.
For Liverpool, the defeat is another sobering experience in their winless league run, with manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst admitting that his team's season may be summed up in a single goal. The Reds will now face an anxious weekend, with results against Arsenal and Manchester City potentially pushing them to eighth in the table.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth's victory keeps their slim hopes of survival alive, thanks largely to the exploits of defender James Hill, who has enjoyed a breakthrough season after joining from Fleetwood Town. His long throw-in was the catalyst for Adli's late winner, which will give his side renewed confidence ahead of their next match.
