Premier League: Bournemouth Shock Liverpool 1-0 to Avenge August Humiliation
News 18After losing 9-0 at Liverpool earlier this season, Bournemouth got some payback in the Premier League on Saturday. Bournemouth halted Liverpool’s recent momentum with a 1-0 home win to boost its hopes of staving off relegation and deal a blow to the visitors’ hopes of earning a top-four spot. Philip Billing scored the only goal in the 28th minute after being teed up in the box by Dango Ouattara and Bournemouth managed to contain a Liverpool attack that had looked rampant in a stunning 7-0 win over Manchester United last weekend. That run that had seen Jurgen Klopp’s team move up to fifth place in the standings after a dismal first half of the season, and a win over Bournemouth would have put Liverpool above fourth-place Tottenham on goal difference ahead of Spurs’ game at Nottingham Forest later. The team was coming off a 3-2 loss at leader Arsenal last weekend, when it led 2-0 but conceded the last goal in the seventh minute of stoppage time, but seemed to have shaken off both that defeat and the 9-0 drubbing at Anfield in August — which equaled the biggest winning margin in Premier League history.
