Recap

Bournemouth recorded one of the best wins in club history against Liverpool, turning around a 3-1 deficit against a team that has been among the Premier League's best this season.

Sadio Mane and Divock Origi gave the visitors a 2-0 lead, and while Callum Wilson pulled one back from the penalty spot after the break, Emre Can restored the two-goal cushion and seemed to have the visitors on their way to three more points.

But in 15 wacky minutes, the Cherries turned things around. Ryan Fraser and Steve Cook tied things up, and Chelsea loanee Ake provided an unlikely winner with an easy finish.

Chelsea TV's Lee Parker loved it, with the result leaving the Blues three points clear at the top of the standings:

The match once again highlighted the defensive frailties the Reds suffer when Joel Matip isn't in the starting XI. One has to assume manager Jurgen Klopp will add another centre-back in January after watching Sunday's match.

Questions were also asked of goalkeeper Loris Karius, who wasn't the only man to blame but made a disastrous mistake that led to the final goal. Per sports writer Liam Canning, some fans might already be hoping for the return of Simon Mignolet:

United fans likely enjoyed watching their rivals suffer such an embarrassing loss, but just a few hours later, they too suffered a major setback. Everton grabbed a very late point at Goodison Park, with Marouane Fellaini giving away a penalty in the dying minutes.

Neither team put together a strong performance in the first half, but Ibrahimovic took advantage of a mistake from goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg to open the score.

Everton improved after the break, aided by the Red Devils' decision to sit back and absorb the pressure, instead of attack. Samuel Luckhurst of the Manchester Evening News thinks the team only had itself to blame:

Fellaini's challenge on Idrissa Gueye―undoubtedly the standout man on the pitch―was soft, but he did impede the former Aston Villa man, and Baines made no mistake from the penalty spot.

As shared by Luckhurst, manager Jose Mourinho was in a foul mood after the match:

The result leaves United in sixth place, 13 points behind leaders Chelsea and six behind fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur. Middlesbrough and Hull City will round off Week 14 on Monday.
