AFC Bournemouth defeated Liverpool 3-2 in a Premier League fixture at Vitality Stadium on Saturday, 24 January 2026. Amine Adli scored the winning goal for the Cherries in the 95th minute of play.
Liverpool had initially fallen two goals behind, with Evanilson and Alex Jimenez scoring for Bournemouth. Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai then netted for Liverpool, bringing the score level. However, Adli's late strike secured all three points for the home side.
The defeat ended Liverpool's 13-game unbeaten run across all competitions. Manager Arne Slot cited fatigue and a demanding fixture schedule, including a recent Champions League away game, as contributing factors to his side's performance. Liverpool's defence struggled during the match, with Joe Gomez sustaining an injury and Virgil van Dijk partly at fault for early goals. The result leaves Liverpool winless in five Premier League games, their longest such run since January 2021.
