BOURNEMOUTH, England (AP) - Liverpool conceded three goals in the final 20 minutes to lose 4-3 at Bournemouth in an English Premier League thriller on Sunday.
Nathan Ake pounced on a fumble by goalkeeper Loris Karius to grab the winner in the third minute of injury time, handing title-chasing Liverpool its first loss since Aug. 20.
Liverpool was 3-1 up by the 64th after goals by Sadio Mane, Divock Origi and Emre Can, but conceded in the 76th minute to substitute Ryan Fraser and in the 78th to Steve Cook.
The late collapse reignited concerns about Liverpool's defense, which was missing injured Joel Matip, as Juerge Klopp's side fell four points behind first-placed Chelsea.
