Liverpool suffered a setback on the road in Matchweek 23, falling to Bournemouth. Arne Slot's men trailed by two goals late in the first half but clawed their way back to level terms—only to leave empty-handed in the end.
Van Dijk pulled one back before Szoboszlai found the net. Notably, that was the Hungarian's fifth goal from outside the box this season. Across all Premier League clubs, only Phil Foden of Manchester City has matched this tally.
Remarkably, this match set a new unwanted record for Liverpool. The decisive goal was conceded deep into stoppage time—marking the third time this season the Reds have been beaten by a last-gasp winner. Never before in Premier League history had this happened to Liverpool in a single campaign.
As a result, Liverpool now sit fourth in the table with 36 points. After 23 matchdays, the team risks slipping further and dropping out of the Champions League qualification zone.
