BOURNEMOUTH -- Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp denied his players had suffered a mental collapse after squandering a 3-1 lead to lose 4-3 to Bournemouth on Sunday.
Nathan Ake's injury-time winner after a handling error from goalkeeper Loris Karius gave Bournemouth the three points and Liverpool are now four points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea in third, while their 15-game unbeaten run has come to an end.
"We have no attitude or character problem," Klopp told reporters. "No one is born a winner. Not in the first two or three months. You have to learn it. Last year there was a lot of criticism and we managed to change, and tried to be much better.
