Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has urged his players to be more like Chelsea as they look to secure Champions League football next season.
Conceding an 87th-minute equaliser to draw 2-2 with Bournemouth meant the gap to fifth-placed Arsenal was cut to six points with the Gunners having two matches in hand.
Third-placed Liverpool currently have a better goal difference but only by two, which could easily be wiped out when Arsene Wenger's side eventually catch up on their fixtures.
Klopp had tried to avoid a slip-up by switching to a three-man defence with 25 minutes to go when he replaced the ill Philippe Coutinho with centre-back Joel Matip, but that could not prevent a late long throw leading to Josh King snatching a point for the visitors.
