Salah loses penalty as Bournemouth records a win against the reds

Mohamed Salah's glaring penalty miss helped Bournemouth climb out of the relegation zone after an excellent win which damaged Liverpool's chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League.

The Reds were brought back down to earth after last week's 7-0 thrashing of Manchester United as the Cherries, who started the weekend bottom, did their survival chances a power of good.

Liverpool was punished for poor defending when the unmarked Philip Billing struck from eight yards for his sixth Premier League goal of the season after fine work by Dango Ouattara.

Virgil van Dijk had a header cleared off the line at 0-0 and substitute Diogo Jota was denied by Neto's fine save before Liverpool won a penalty when Adam Smith handled the Portugal forward's header.

But Salah, who became Liverpool's all-time top Premier League scorer with 129 goals last week, blazed the penalty wide much to the delight of Bournemouth's fans.

While the win ensured Bournemouth finished the day 17th, Jurgen Klopp's side missed the chance to go fourth for the first time this season after a passive display.

"This game was a massive knock," said the Reds boss. "You know how it is with knocks, you have to take them and see how big the scars are and go from there."

Having scored seven times in their last match, the Reds failed to register a goal against the worst defense in the Premier League.

Liverpool has made strides in recent weeks but this was a step backward for a team that faces a mountainous task to stay in the Champions League when they go to European champions Real Madrid on Wednesday, looking to claw back a 5-2 deficit.

Their patchy away form - just three wins in 13 league games on the road - continues to hold them back.

"Concerned? Yes, I see it," added Klopp on his side's away performances.

"In the home games we are in the top four but in the away games we are not even in Europe, there is always a reason and our away results are for sure [the reason]."

With next week's home game with Fulham postponed due to the London club's involvement in the FA Cup followed by the first international break of 2023, this was Liverpool's last game on the Premier League stage for three weeks.

They face back-to-back away games at Manchester City (1 April) and Chelsea (4 April) when they return, followed by a home match with leaders Arsenal (9 April).

Klopp will hope his side has washed this defeat out of their system by then.

  Tell us about your Background I was born and raised in South East, Nigeria. I come from a family of six and I grew up under the tutelage of my parents. As avid readers, my parents loved to buy books so we had an entire library at home. They instilled in us kids, the habit of reading at a very early stage. My dad also occasionally gave us reading and writing assignments during the weekends, and I was always overly excited to do them.  How did poetry all begin for you I must have been 15 or 16 years old when I stumbled upon a certain compilation of poetry book in the library at home. Reading that book was a whole new and wonderful experience for me. The poems it contained were deeply resonating and made me feel very much fascinated. As I read on, I started to discover that most of the poems were somewhat similar to my scribblings (thoughts and emotions I used to write down) and this further piqued my interest.   What is your writing process like I mostly just st...
