Liverpool are now winless in five Premier League matches after their unbeaten run came to an end with a dramatic 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth.

Arne Slot's team looked set to draw a fifth straight league match when Dominik Szoboszlai curled home in the 80th minute, but Amine Adli had other ideas.

The Reds had fallen 2-0 down inside the opening 33 minutes at the Vitality Stadium, where Evanilson and Alex Jimenez scored in quick succession for the Cherries.

Yet Virgil van Dijk - who was at least partly at fault for both of those Bournemouth goals - dragged Liverpool back into it on the stroke of half-time.

Szoboszlai teed up Van Dijk's goal with a fine corner, and the Hungarian's set-piece prowess came to the fore again when he levelled from a well-worked free-kick also involving Mohamed Salah.

But after Evanilson dragged wide with only Alisson to beat, Bournemouth kept their foot on the gas, and after Liverpool failed to deal with a long throw into their box, Adli was on hand to prod home a winner in the 95th minute.

Data Debrief: Van Dijk and fellow defenders endure a miserable day

Since his Premier League debut for Liverpool in January 2018, Van Dijk has the most goals of any defender in the competition (22). It is the joint-most by any Liverpool defender in Premier League history, along with Sami Hyypia.

However, Van Dijk's primary concern is on marshalling Liverpool's defence, and that is not something he did well here.

Indeed, Bournemouth finished off with 2.3 expected goals to Liverpool's 0.83 xG, despite having two fewer shots than the Reds (12 to 14). That shows the Cherries created far better chances as their attackers consistently got the better of the visitors' leggy, makeshift backline, with Joe Gomez forced off due to injury in the first half.

Liverpool are on their longest winless run in the league since 2021, while only Bournemouth themselves (17) have conceded more Premier League goals from set-pieces (excluding penalties) than the Reds (14) this season. It is the Reds' worst such tally in a single campaign since 2015-16 (15).
