LONDON : Liverpool came crashing down to earth as Bournemouth stunned Juergen Klopp's side with a 1-0 victory to move off the bottom and out of the Premier League's relegation zone on Saturday.
Tottenham, who exited the FA Cup and Champions League and lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the league in their last three games, cemented themselves in fourth place with 48 points from 27 games with Liverpool on 42 from a game less. Leeds United twice came from a goal down to draw 2-2 at home to in-form Brighton and Hove Albion, although they ended the day back in the bottom three.
But Bournemouth had other ideas and resisted some early pressure before Billing steered home in the 28th minute. "I think we played for pretty much 95 minutes the game Bournemouth wanted to play and a few minutes maybe, a few moments, we did the stuff we wanted to do." Kane has now reached 20 goals in at least six Premier League campaigns, something only Alan Shearer and Sergio Aguero had previously managed.
