Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admitted he didn't enjoy 'facing a deep and compact side' after his 7-0 triumph over Manchester United last week, as his side suffered a dismal 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth to lose vital ground in the top four race on Saturday.
The Reds' monumental victory over their bitter rivals last weekend provided the tonic to a disappointing campaign at Anfield this season, but old habits crept in once again at the Vitality Stadium as Liverpool were undone by the Premier League's bottom-placed side.
Cherries midfielder Philip Billing netted the opener during a lethargic first half from the visitors, provisionally climbing Gary O'Neil's side out of the relegation zone.
