The key and in some ways even historical moment is Salah's miss from the penalty spot.
Liverpool is arguably the most amazing team in England. Soon after the defeat at home from Real Madrid with a score of 2:5, Manchester United were defeated - 7:0. And this is considering that Manchester United is in great shape after the 2022 World Cup.

A week has passed since that fantastic match. Liverpool didn't have any new injuries or suspensions, but now they've lost against the last Premier League side. If in the last round Nunez, Salah and Gakpo scored twice each, now they could not score against Bournemouth, which missed the most in this season of the English Championship (51 goals in 25 rounds).

True, it must be borne in mind that Liverpool have created a lot more opponents. On shots - 14:5 (6:2 - on target). Expected goals (xG) - 2.14 against 0.97 also in favor of the top club. The most obvious moment was missed by Salah, who shot wide of the goal from the penalty spot. For the striker, this is the first time in his professional career that he missed the goal from a penalty spot. Story!

The only goal of the match turned out to be incredibly simple - Bournemouth went from penalty area to penalty area in two passes. And it wasn't a counterattack. Liverpool calmly managed to part, but in four seconds the ball went from the goalkeeper to the striker, who practically went one on one with Alison. Surprisingly, van Dijk still caught up with him, but then missed. Even more surprising is how Bournemouth managed to go all the way across the pitch without even noticing Liverpool's pressure.

“Little things make a big difference. As a result, the opponent opened the scoring,” said Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp after the match.
The surprise win lifted Bournemouth from 20th to 16th while Liverpool remained in fifth. True, both teams may be lower in the 27th round.
