Liverpool's 13-game unbeaten run ended with a dramatic 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth, with Amine Adli scoring a last-gasp winner. The loss, their seventh in the Premier League, leaves Arsenal 14 points clear at the top and puts the Reds' top-four spot under threat.

Manager Arne Slot took ultimate responsibility but also cited a combination of factors. He pointed to a difficult wind, a punishing fixture schedule after a Champions League trip, and a mounting injury list that saw Joe Gomez forced off against Alisson Becker in a costly collision.

Virgil van Dijk defended his own error for the opener, blaming the tricky conditions, and Slot agreed the wind impacted several players. With key defenders like Gomez, Konate, and Bradley sidelined, Liverpool's squad depth is being severely tested as they fight to maintain their Champions League place.
