Summary Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool missed out on a chance to go second in the Premier League
LONDON (AFP) - Liverpool s title challenge suffered a stunning setback as they conceded three goals in the last 14 minutes of an astonishing 4-3 defeat against Bournemouth.
Jurgen Klopp s Liverpool missed out on a chance to go second in the Premier League and instead remain four points behind leaders Chelsea after their incredible meltdown at Dean Court.
Goals from Sadio Mane and Divock Origi had Liverpool ahead at the break and the points still seemed to be heading back to Anfield when Emre Can s strike restored their two-goal advantage following Callum Wilson s penalty.
But Ryan Fraser, who had come off the bench to win the spot-kick, then buried his maiden Premier League goal before crossing for Steve Cook to superbly equalise, with Nathan Ake bundling home a last-gasp winner as Loris Karius failed to hold another Cook effort.
"First of all I have to say a deserved win for Bournemouth. A big fight from them. We gave the game away at a decisive point," Klopp said.
"We opened the door and they ran through and scored some wonderful goals. So that s the deserved result.
"Even when we are in the lead at 2-0 it s how we try to play football then we were static. We gave the game away because we didn t play football any more."
Bournemouth are in just their second season in the top-flight and this was arguably the tiny south coast club s finest hour.
"It would have been easy for our players to give up and see out time, but our group knows not to give up," Cherries boss Eddie Howe said.
"In the second half we looked like scoring every time we attacked. For this club and everyone involved it s make for a very special day.
"These days are huge for us. We d never been in the Premier League until last season so we re making history for the club."
