Jurgen Klopp reacts to shocking Liverpool defeat at Bournemouth *As Fellaini blunder gifts Everton d


Jurgen Klopp was perhaps surprisingly philosophical after seeing his Liverpool side lose to Bournemouth despite leading 3-1 with just 14 minutes remaining on the clock.

It was an incredibly capitulation from the Reds who appeared to be cruising at the Vitality Stadium. However a Ryan Fraser goal on 76 minutes followed by a Steve Cook equaliser three minutes later were compounded when Nathan Ake scored an injury time winner.

Marouane Fellaini takes just three minutes to absolutely ruin Manchester United’s day Klopp could have been furious but instead saw it as no more than a straightforward loss, which will happen over the course of the season.

‘It is three points lost no more, these things happen. You can’t be champions in December, relegated, promoted or whatever.

‘I think with all our good moments, it was pretty clear who were the better side today.’

Manchester United vs Everton

Meanwhile, Zlatan Ibrahimovic appeared to have sent his club on the way to victory with a first-half lob, but the away team paid dearly for Fellaini's mistake against his old club.

Leighton Baines scored a penalty with one minute remaining to deny Manchester United a much-needed Premier League win as Everton snatched a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's audacious lob from outside the penalty area gave United the lead shortly before half-time, his sixth goal in five matches.

And it looked like that would prove decisive, with Ander Herrera striking the frame of the goal and David de Gea saving from Kevin Mirallas in the two best chances of the second period prior to the penalty incident.

Marouane Fellaini - on as a late substitute for his 100th United appearance - fouled Idrissa Gueye against his former club and Baines confidently converted from the spot.

United have now only won two of their past 11 league matches, with this point moving them back above West Brom and into the top six, but nine points adrift of Manchester City in fourth as the pressure grows on manager Jose Mourinho.

Everton, meanwhile, stay eighth, and have still only won once in their last nine league matches, despite their late revival.

After a quiet start to the match, Marcos Rojo escaped a red card despite lunging in with a two-footed challenge against Gueye, with referee Michael Oliver opting only to book him.

Tom Cleverley sliced a volley into the arms of De Gea for Everton, while Ibrahimovic blasted a free-kick straight into the wall from 20 yards at the other end.
