He shrugged off a challenge from Van Dijk to break into the right side of the area before crossing for Billing to turn home.

"I think we played for pretty much 95 minutes the game Bournemouth wanted to play and a few minutes maybe, a few moments, we did the stuff we wanted to do." But they responded positively with Kane's header in the 19th minute and a 35th-minute penalty putting them in control against a Forest side who offered little until it was too late. Tottenham, who exited the FA Cup and Champions League and lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the league in their last three games, cemented themselves in fourth place with 48 points from 27 games with Liverpool on 42 from a game less. "The game was pretty much the opposite of what we wanted to show and to do today," a frustrated Klopp said. In the late kickoff, Manchester City struggled to break down a stubborn Palace side but an Erling Haaland penalty in the 78th minute saw them grab a 1-0 win to keep the pressure on leaders Arsenal. came crashing down to earth as Bournemouth stunned Juergen Klopp's side with a 1-0 victory to move out of the

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah missed the target from the penalty spot for the first time in his Premier League career in the shock loss at Bournemouth.

[Andy Robertson](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/104943/Andy-Robertson), 6 -- Created a problem when his burst forward on the left was picked out by a lovely, dissecting pass from Alexander-Arnold, but Nunez couldn't convert his cross. Offered his side a way back when his header was deemed to have been handled by Smith, but Salah couldn't capitalise. Dropped into midfield after the break, which allowed him the space he needed to make more of an impact, but he wasted a last-gasp chance to level. Later saw a low-driven effort of his held by Neto again. Created Bournemouth's best chance of the game when his attempted crossfield pass went wrong, and he made a mess of a shot at goal with a half-volley to delight the home fans. But he relieved the pressure when he rescued Alexander-Arnold and charged forward before drawing the foul from Lerma. Unsurprisingly withdrawn at the break. Jurgen Klopp, 6 -- It's tough to put the blame on Klopp for this one. Well-beaten by Billing's cool finish. The visitors, visibly stunned, struggled to muster a meaningful response.

Ben Chilwell, Kai Havertz and Mateo Kovacic got on the scoresheet as Chelsea continued their upturn in form with a 3-1 win at Leicester City. Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah missed a second-half penalty as his side fell to a 1-0 defeat away at Bournemouth, with Philip Billing’s goal lifting the south-coast side off the bottom of the Premier League table and out of the relegation zone. Madrid: Real Madrid fought back from a goal down to claim a 3-1 victory over Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Trent Alexander-Arnold says Liverpool must give their all against Real Madrid after showing an unacceptable lack of fight in their defeat to Bournemouth.

"It's one that we need to go and do something special. Then we'll get ready for an important run-in." "This is the time of the season when everyone knows what they are fighting for and obviously Bournemouth are in a relegation battle, so they are fighting for survival," he said.

Liverpool suffers another setback in a frustrating season as Mohamed Salah fired a second-half penalty wide.

Jack Harrison then scored at both ends in the second half to leave Brighton still nine points off the top four, albeit with three games in hand. Richarlison made amends by teeing up Son Heung-min to fire in Spurs’ third. I think we played for pretty much 95 minutes the game Bournemouth wanted to play,” said Klopp.

Manager Jurgen Klopp was not impressed by his team's performance but heaped praise on the opposition, who according to him, showed more hunger to win in yesterday's game. We were dominant in the first half, but mostly we put (the) ball in at the wrong moment against a compact side," he said.

Virgil van Dijk remains their main man at centre-back, but seems to have lost the fear factor he once instilled in opponents. Currently, he would be most likely to partner either Joel Matip, Ibrahima Konate or Joe Gomez. Plans will be being made for their midfield and defence, in the hope that they can settle on some shrewd signings to upgrade their squad after what has been – and may continue to be – a rollercoaster season.

Now, the England international has been namechecked among some of his colleagues as a player who has failed to provide consistency alongside Van Dijk this season.

Despite being 5-2 up from the first leg at Anfield, Real Madrid will be taking nothing for granted when they take on Liverpool in their Champions League last 16 second leg on Wednesday.

Liverpool have two attackers who might be ready to turn the tables on Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League clash, fears Eder Militao.

Liverpool will feel enormous pressure and each minute that passes without a goal for them is a success for us. But our challenge is to play such a match that no one remembers our 5-2 win at Anfield. Liverpool improved in the last matches and we saw the game against Manchester United. The hosts will have the advantage after a stunning 5-2 win at Anfield in the first leg. “To win 5-2 there and score is a unique moment for any footballer. However, it is not a foregone conclusion that Real Madrid will preserve their aggregate lead.
