Late-Gasp Defeat: Liverpool’s 90+ Drama Deepens Premier League Woes
Liverpool endure another late heartbreak in a 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth.

Match Recap

The Reds' winless run in the Premier League is worsening as Liverpool stumble to a 3-2 defeat away to Bournemouth on Saturday, in matchweek 23.

Liverpool found themselves 2-0 behind after Evanilson struck in the 26th minute and Alex Jimenez added a second in the 33rd.

Virgil van Dijk pulled one back just before halftime (45+1), followed by Dominik Szoboszlai's leveller in the 80th minute, but Amin Adli struck at 90+5 to seal the win for Bournemouth.

Opta notes this is the third time this season Liverpool have conceded a late goal (90+), the most late goals they have ever shipped in a single Premier League campaign.

The match also extended Liverpool's winless run in 2026 to five games (four draws, one defeat), the longest such sequence for the Reds since January 2021.

Aftermath

Liverpool's points tally stands at 36, leaving them fourth, with the club's 2026 results still barren to date.

Meanwhile Bournemouth climb above the relegation zone with the late 3-2 win, a result that will linger in the memory of supporters and fantasy managers alike.

Punchline 1: If late goals burned calories, Liverpool would be in peak shape this season.

Punchline 2: The clock at the Vital Bournemouth clash turned into a villain, delivering a 90+5 cameo that decided the day.
