Bournemouth secured a deserved and controlled victory, defeating Liverpool 3-2 at Dean Court with a goal in the final minute of the match. The Reds, who had managed to overcome a two-goal deficit, were left empty-handed in an unexpected finale. The home side set the pace of the game during the first half, building their initial advantage from better space occupation and greater precision. Evanilson opened the scoring, and Álex Jiménez extended the difference after a run down the right flank, in a move that found Liverpool with ten men as Joe Gomez received medical attention. The dominance continued, and as the clock showed added time in the first half, Semenyo appeared on the 47th minute to extend the lead and secure the victory before the break. In the second half, the City managed the result intelligently, slowed the pace of the game, and neutralized the opposition's attempts, who never found clarity to seriously trouble the home goal. The dominance translated into a goal again on the 28th minute, when Bowen converted a penalty to stretch the difference. Before the end of the first half, on the 43rd minute, Mateus Fernandes took advantage of space in the area to score the third goal, leaving the match very difficult for the visitors. In the second half, Sunderland tried to react and found a consolation goal on the 22nd minute through Brian Brobbey, who capitalized on an isolated attack. Bournemouth capitalized on that context and maintained territorial dominance. Before the break, Liverpool reacted with a header from Virgil van Dijk that narrowed the score and kept the match open. Meanwhile, Burnley and Tottenham drew 2-2 in a tense encounter with alternation in the score and a point share that left mixed feelings for both teams. However, West Ham knew how to handle the final stretch of the match, held the advantage, and secured three crucial points. In other results of the matchday, Fulham achieved a narrow 2-1 victory over Brighton, a win that allowed them to pick up important points in the mid-table region.
