Liverpool boss Arne Slot was livid at full time after his side suffered a dramatic 3\u20132 loss to Bournemouth on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
The Reds had shown real fight to recover from a 2\u20130 deficit and level the match at 2\u20132, only to be undone by a goal deep into stoppage time that condemned Slot\u2019s team to a crushing defeat.<\/p>\n
Several Liverpool players fell short on the night, as reflected in our player ratings, but Slot appeared to believe his side had been harshly treated by the officials. A lengthy amount of added time ultimately gave Bournemouth the chance to grab a late winner.<\/p>\n
Footage shows the Dutchman angrily confronting the match officials at the final whistle, with captain Virgil van Dijk also visibly displeased. While many Liverpool supporters may sympathise with Slot\u2019s frustration, improved performances on the pitch would strengthen his argument.<\/p>\n
Late goals continue to haunt Liverpool<\/p>\n
Conceding late has become an all-too-familiar issue for Liverpool this season. While they benefited from stoppage-time goals in their opening-day win over Bournemouth at Anfield and in a late victory at Newcastle, the trend has often worked against them.<\/p>\n
Late goals have also cost them dearly in losses to Chelsea and Crystal Palace, while Leeds United snatched a late equaliser in a 3\u20133 draw at Elland Road.<\/p>\n
Such defensive frailties are falling short of the standards expected at Liverpool and could yet derail their push for a top-four finish. After shipping three more goals here, Liverpool have now conceded 32 in the Premier League this season \u2014 more than Everton, Sunderland, Brentford, Brighton, Tottenham and Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
