Liverpool boss Arne Slot blamed fatigue for his side's first defeat in 14 games, as Bournemouth's Amine Adli struck with virtually the last kick of the game to snatch a 3-2 home win for the Cherries on Jan 24.

But the Reds have now failed to win in their last five English Premier League games in a major dent to their hopes of Champions League qualification next season.
In contrast to their domestic troubles, Liverpool took a giant step towards the Champions League last 16 with a 3-0 win in Marseille on Jan 21.
Slot, though, blamed the tight turnaround and his threadbare options due to a number of injuries for his side running out of steam.
