Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp warned his players to wise up and learn from a stunning 4-3 stoppage-time defeat to struggling Bournemouth.

The Reds had been cruising but twice surrendered a two-goal lead before Nathan Ake grabbed a stoppage-time winner.

Senegal international Sadio Mane and Belgian striker Divock Origi, starting a league game for the first time this season, established a 2-0 lead for the visitors midway through the first half.

Callum Wilson halved the deficit from a penalty 11 minutes into the second half, but within seven minutes, Emre Can’s fine effort from the edge of the penalty area restored the two-goal cushion.

It was snatched away, however, in stunning fashion with three Bournemouth goals in the last 20 minutes.
