Late errors prove costly for Man United, Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp insists his Liverpool side have no problem with their character despite blowing a two-goal lead to lose 4-3 at Bournemouth courtesy of a last-gasp Nathan Ake victor. Right up there with the Everton game past year where we were really poor for the first part and came back for a point (a 3-3 draw).

Ingolstadt, which lost 2-1 at Bremen on Saturday, is now bottom after Hamburg’s Michael Gregoritsch scored his third goal in two games to give his side a first-half lead at Darmstadt.

Bournemouth hero Ake hailed his side’s “incredible” comeback after Sadio Mane and Divock Origi gave the visitors a 2-0 lead inside 22 minutes.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe praised the impact of substitute Fraser, who only came off the bench 10 minutes into the second half but promptly won a penalty and scored the team’s second goal.

A Callum Wilson penalty shortly after half-time offered Bournemouth hope, before Emre Can’s stunner quickly restored Liverpool’s two-goal advantage.

Cook drew Bournemouth level with a 79th-minute strike, while Nathan Ake, who is on loan from Chelsea, nabbed the victor deep into injury time.

“It shows we have still got that spirit from when we were promoted from the Championship”.

He added: “I knew there would be moments like this”.

After Fraser scored a stunner in the 76th minute, Liverpool completely faded away, especially on defence, where Lucas Leiva looked completely terrible during the last minutes of the game and making the absence of Matip very notorious.

Can’s looping knock into the left channel appeared relatively harmless until Mane beat Ake to the ball, held off the Bournemouth defender and prodded a finish underneath Artur Boruc as he rushed from goal.

“If we learn, then it’s okay”. No way is without rocks or stones.

The Black Cats have won three of their last four games to lift themselves to within a point of the safety line following their bad start to the season.

“We need to kick on, have a good week’s training”.

Earlier, Zlatan Ibrahimovic continued his run of goals for sixth-placed United with a clever lob via the bar and post as goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg unwisely rushed out of the penalty area. “I’ve said many a time before, we [need to] concentrate on ourselves”, the skipper continued.

But Karius’ struggles were no coincidence says Cook who, along with his Bournemouth team-mates, was under specific instructions to press the young German at every opportunity.

“I’m happy my team is playing extremely well. But this season what matters is the results”.
