LONDON, March 11 (BNA): After losing 9-0 to Liverpool earlier this season, Bournemouth got some wins in the Premier League on Saturday, according to the Associated Press.
Bournemouth halted Liverpool’s recent momentum with a 1-0 home win to boost their hopes of avoiding relegation and deal a blow to the visitors’ hopes of a fourth-place finish.
Philip Billing scored the only goal in the 28th minute after being brought down in the penalty area by Dango Ouattara as Bournemouth contained a Liverpool attack that looked rampant in a stunning 7-0 win over Manchester United last weekend.
Mohamed Salah missed a penalty kick for Liverpool in the 70th minute, sending his effort wide of the goal, while Virgil van Dijk hit an early header off the line.
But it was a surprisingly tame performance from a Liverpool side who looked to be finally back to their best after four wins and a draw in their last five matches.
That period saw Jürgen Klopp’s side move to fifth in the standings after a poor first half of the season, and a win over Bournemouth would have put Liverpool above fourth-placed Tottenham on goal difference ahead of the Tottenham game at Nottingham Forest. Later.
Bournemouth started the day bottom but the win lifted them temporarily to 16th in a tight battle against relegation.
The team was coming off a 3-2 loss against leaders Arsenal last weekend, when it went 2-0 up but conceded the last goal in the seventh minute of stoppage time, but seemed to shake off that defeat and defeat 9-0. At Anfield in August – equal to the largest winning margin in Premier League history.
