AFC Bournemouth pulled off one of the biggest Premier League shocks of the season with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Liverpool, sealed by a last-gasp winner deep into stoppage time. In a pulsating encounter, the Cherries came from behind twice before Adli’s 90+4’ strike sent the Vitality Stadium into raptures.
Despite Liverpool dominating possession, Bournemouth’s fearless, high-tempo style once again delivered chaos and goals.
End-to-End First Half
The hosts made a dream start when Evanilson opened the scoring in the 27th minute, finishing off a swift attacking move.
Liverpool responded through their captain, with Virgil van Dijk heading in an equaliser just before half-time (45’), restoring parity and momentum for the Reds.
Second-Half Drama
Bournemouth struck again in the 33rd minute through Alejandro Jiménez, but Liverpool refused to go away.
Dominik Szoboszlai fired home in the 80th minute, seemingly rescuing a point for the visitors.
Just as the match looked set for a draw, Bournemouth found one final twist.
Adli Delivers in Stoppage Time
In the 95th minute, Adli rose to the occasion, smashing in the winner to complete a sensational comeback and hand Liverpool a crushing defeat.
