Bournemouth Snap Liverpool’s Unbeaten Run To Up Pressure On Slot

Amine Adli’s 95th-minute goal gave the Cherries a thrilling 3-2 victory on Saturday, ending Liverpool’s 13-game unbeaten run.

The home side had a commanding position before Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai scored the equalizer thanks to goals from Evanilson and Alex Jimenez.

However, Adli’s late goal with almost the final kick of the game gave Bournemouth a 15-game win.

After the games of Sunday, defeat will make Liverpool manager Arne Slot’s reputation more under the microscope. The Reds are likely to finish outside of the top four in the Premier League.

After a run of nine defeats in 12 games earlier in the campaign, Slot, who led Liverpool to Premier League glory last year, had stabilized the situation.

Liverpool are currently winless in five league games, despite the Dutchman’s uninspired performances, even during their unbeaten run.

In midweek, the Reds defeated Marseille 3-3 to move into the Champions League last 16.

After giving the Cherries a 2-0 lead, they again struggled when faced with the demands of disassembling a Premier League defense.

The visitors made up for two defensive errors in seven first-half minutes by dominating the ball throughout.

Van Dijk tried too casually to tip Marcos Senesi’s cross over the top for a corner, but Evanilson hammered home from the crossbar.

Joe Gomez picked up an injury to further diminish Liverpool’s already exhausted center-back options as he attempted to prevent the goal.

When Bournemouth doubled their lead, the visitors were only 10 men at the time.

Milos Kerkez’s return to the Vitality Stadium resulted in Jimenez sneaking in behind and scoring his first goal for Bournemouth.

Van Dijk made amends for his earlier error by heading into Szoboszlai’s corner to start the Liverpool fightback.

Reward for optimism

Despite being linked with a move to Tottenham before the transfer window closes in more than a week, Andy Robertson took Kerkez’ place at halftime.

Before Szoboszlai’s strike sparked a wild finale, Liverpool had little to show for their dominance of the ball.

On Wednesday, the Hungarian slotted a free kick under the Marseille wall, but this time it was a Cody Gakpo flick that he worked an angle into the far corner.

Alisson Becker was almost immediately required by Liverpool to stop Bournemouth from retaking the lead right away with Ryan Christie’s brilliant save.

The Brazilian slotted wide with Alisson to beat before squandering a fantastic chance to win the game.

When Florian Wirtz was prevented from finding the bottom corner by Bournemouth goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, the club could have lost it.

However, Adli’s narrow angle header from a long angle gave Andoni Iraola’s men a heads-up when the pair won.

Senegal PM To Visit Morocco After AFCON Unrest

After being detained there during the Africa Cup of Nations football final, Senegal’s prime minister Ousmane Sonko will make an official visit to Morocco on Monday, according to officials.

Eighteen Senegalese supporters are still in pre-trial detention in Morocco, where they face hooliganism charges. Senegal lost to Morocco 1-0 after the match on January 18; they were taken into custody after the trial.

Their trial was adjourned until January 29 because it took place on Thursday in a Rabat court.

The two nations, however, have friendly relations in areas like tourism, energy, infrastructure, and transportation, and they both practice moderate religion.

According to a source at the Senegalese foreign ministry, Sonko’s trip is being carried out as part of a joint commission between the two states, which is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday.

According to the Moroccan news agency MAP, an African-Senegalese economic forum is being held for the occasion.

King Mohammed VI of Morocco regretted the events, and Sonko called for a calmening of the conflict.

Rival supporters have continued to exchange barbs on social media.

Triumph in the midst of controversy

Following a VAR check for a challenge on Diaz by Senegal defender El Hadji Malick Diouf in the box, Congolese match referee Jean-Jacques Ndala awarded the penalty just before the eighteenth minute was up.

Diaz, the rest of the Moroccan team, and their bench vehemently opposed the referee’s request to review the images, but Senegal and their supporters reacted furiously when they finally decided to give the spot-kick.

Some Senegal supporters in the small group of away fans at the opposite end of the stadium threw chairs and other objects and attempted to enter the field of play as the majority of their players attempted to leave the field of play.

When the penalty was saved, they were eventually ensnared by a sizable barrage of police and stewards, turning their anger into joy and disbelief.

The Senegalese team’s first reaction was when the referee decided to forbid a foul, but they were angered when Abdoulaye Seck headed off the post at a corner and Ismaila Sarr nodded in the rebound.

However, a galvanized Senegal would almost certainly come out on top in the fourth minute of extra time, stunning the 66, 526 home fans at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium.

Djokovic ‘Hanging In There’ After Landmark 400th Slam Win

Novak Djokovic, the first player to reach the final 16 of the Australian Open, declared he was “hanging in there” after becoming the first player to win 400 Grand Slam matches on Saturday.

In front of a throbbing crowd on center court, the 38-year-old Serbian great extended his own all-time winning streak to include match wins at the majors by sweeping past Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7/4) in front of a boisterous crowd.

Next best are Serena Williams and Roger Federer (369), respectively.

Victory won 102 matches for Federer, who holds the record for Australian Open singles victories with 102 wins.

A fourth-round match between Djokovic and Czech rising star Jakub Mensik or American debutant Ethan Quinn, whose match was postponed due to extreme heat, will be Djokovic’s reward.

Djokovic continued, “I’m still trying to give these young guys a push for their money.” “I’m still here,” I said. I’m anchored there.

Alcaraz and Sinner are undoubtedly the world’s two best players. They are currently playing on a different level than everyone else.

However, you’re aware that whenever you enter the court and the ball rolls, you always have a chance, especially on the court where I’ve had the best luck in my career.

He argued that he was “not getting ahead of myself” after reaching the semi-finals of all four majors last year and failing to advance.

He claimed that during some of the Grand Slams last year, I grew too excited and too early. “I was playing really well, getting to the quarters and semis, and then getting injured in pretty much three of the four.”

Van de Zandschulp, who is 75th overall, never looked confident of delivering yet another shock at Indian Wells last year in three sets against Djokovic.

After a massive 26-point rally, the fourth seed reclaimed the game with some incredible tennis in set one, sealing the crucial break in the final game.

On his opening serve of the second set, he broke the Dutchman once more, moving to 4-2, but it was difficult and he grew increasingly irritable.

He once nearly hit a ball kid while quickly apologizing after hurling a ball toward an advertising hoarding out of frustration.

Djokovic&nbsp, who was taken after a tumble during a medical timeout in set three, had work on his foot.

He proved to be the most resilient during the set’s tiebreak and they exchanged breaks.

He described the fall where he appeared to turn his ankle as “a few points before, I almost saw the physio, I was planning to see him for my blisters.”

“Thankfully, I managed to fall well,” if you will. At that time, things could have been incredibly ugly.

Since winning the US Open in 2023, Djokovic and Margaret Court have won 24 major titles.
