Bournemouth claimed a shocking 1-0 victory over Liverpool on Saturday after Philip Billing’s first half strike.
Liverpool, just coming from 7-0 demolition of Manchester United, were favourite to carry the day at Bournemouth, but the Reds fumbled.
Dango Ouattara provided Philip Billing with a nice pass inside the box in the first half and he finished with a strike into the middle of the goal.
Liverpool dominated play with 70 percent ball possessions, 15 goal attempts and six shots on goal, but they could not break the resilience of the home team.
Diogo Jota hit an explosive shot from outside the penalty area and forces the goalkeeper to make a good save four minutes after the break.
Liverpool got a lifeline as the referee awarded a penalty after Adams Smith appeared to have handled the ball in the box.
But Mohamed Salah could not convert the spot kick, as it went narrowly wide off the left post.
On added time, a mistake by a defender gifts Cody Gakpo a chance inside the box, but his efforts zipped just over the bar.
