Liverpool's win over Manchester United now means little as Champions League dreams take massive hit

The Reds fell to Bournemouth on Saturday, losing to a team they beat 9-0 earlier in the season

Liverpool's away woes continued at the Vitality Stadium facing Bournemouth on Saturday as the Reds lost 1-0. Fresh off of what should've been a season-changing 7-0 victory against Manchester United, the Reds struggled against a Bournemouth side that they swept away 9-0 earlier in the season. An early goal from Phil Billing was enough to see the Cherries rise out of the relegation zone as Liverpool had an excellent chance to draw level from the penalty spot but Mohamed Salah drove his chance wide, completely missing the target.

It's a similar story that has plagued Liverpool in away matches this season. With 13 games played at Anfield, the Reds are the third-best team in the Premier League with 30 points from those matches. But, when they leave their home fans, Liverpool have only won three away matches leading to 12 points in 13 matches. That's down to mentality as this was the same team that wiped the floor with Manchester United but they couldn't get past Bournemouth.

The Cherries were boosted by the return of David Brooks to the bench after undergoing treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Vitality Stadium is a special atmosphere as the fans look to push the team to stay in the Premier League. Sronger Liverpool squads have been able to block out the noise from elsewhere, but not this edition.
