Adli’s Stoppage-Time Stunner Ends Liverpool’s Unbeaten Run

Bournemouth 3–2 Liverpool: Adli’s Last-Gasp Goal Stuns the Reds at Vitality

Amine Adli struck a dramatic stoppage-time winner as Bournemouth edged Liverpool 3–2 in a Premier League thriller, ending the visitors’ 13-match unbeaten run in dramatic fashion on the south coast.

In a chaotic and rain-soaked contest at the Vitality Stadium, Liverpool fought back from two goals down but were punished at the death as Adli bundled home the winner in the 95th minute, sending the home crowd into raptures.

A Costly Collapse from Liverpool

Despite enjoying early possession, Arne Slot’s side found themselves 2–0 down inside 33 minutes after a nightmare sequence involving defensive errors and an untimely injury.

• 26’ – Evanilson opened the scoring after Virgil van Dijk failed to clear a low cross and Joe Gomez collided with Alisson, leaving the Brazilian striker to finish.

• 33’ – With Gomez still off the pitch receiving treatment, Alex Jimenez took advantage of Liverpool being down to 10 men and slotted in a second for the hosts.

Van Dijk’s error and the failure to stop play while Gomez was clearly injured proved critical as Bournemouth capitalized on Liverpool’s disarray.

Liverpool Show Fight But Fall Short

Liverpool responded through Van Dijk, who redeemed himself with a powerful header just before half-time, converting Dominik Szoboszlai’s corner to make it 2–1.

Szoboszlai continued his standout season, curling in a precise free-kick from a Mohamed Salah short pass in the 80th minute to bring the Reds level.

The game looked set for a draw until Bournemouth launched one final attack, and Adli pounced on a loose ball after a long throw caused panic in Liverpool’s box.

Szoboszlai Shines Again, But Defensive Woes Mount

Szoboszlai, operating in multiple roles including a stint at right-back, once again stood out as Liverpool’s best performer, but the back line crumbled without the injured Gomez and a struggling Van Dijk.

With Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, and others withdrawn throughout the match, Liverpool’s defensive structure fell apart late on, allowing Bournemouth’s persistent press to break through.

Fearless Bournemouth Earn Famous Win

Andoni Iraola’s injury-hit squad showed courage, pressing high and taking the game to Liverpool early on. Despite the pressure in the second half, they didn’t settle for a draw.

• Goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic made a crucial save to deny Florian Wirtz late on.

• The Vitality erupted as Petrovic sprinted to the sidelines to celebrate Adli’s late winner.

It was only Bournemouth’s second win in their last 15 league matches, but it was fully deserved.
