Liverpool

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](https://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 Unsurprisingly withdrawn at the break.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.
