    Bournemouth completed one of the comebacks of the season to beat Liverpool for the first time in a sensational Premier League game.

    The Cherries battled back from 2-0 down at half-time and 3-1 behind with 15 minutes to go, with Nathan Ake’s 93rd-minute winner sealing a famous win.

    Sadio Mane scored the Reds’ opener when he controlled Emre Can’s ball over the top, held off Ake and poked home.

    The visitors looked in control when Divock Origi went past Artur Boruc and curled home their second from a narrow angle.

    Bournemouth brought on Ryan Fraser in the 55th minute and that proved to be the turning point of the game. Seconds later James Milner brought him down in the area and Callum Wilson scored the penalty.

    Can put the Reds 3-1 up with a 20-yard curling effort but Fraser scored his first Premier League goal when he tucked home after Wilson’s cross had hit the heels of Benik Afobe.

    Centre-back Steve Cook got Bournemouth level when he controlled Fraser’s cross, swivelled and volleyed home.

    It looked like the drama was over until the third minute of injury time when Loris Karius spilled Cook’s shot and Ake tapped home into an empty net.

    How the comeback unfolded

    20 mins (0-1): Liverpool open the scoring through Mane, who pokes the ball past Boruc

    22 mins (0-2): Surely game over already, as Mane wins the ball off Harry Arter and finds Jordan Henderson, who plays in Origi, with the Belgian guiding the ball into an empty net after Boruc came flying out of his box

    45 mins: At half-time, Liverpool are cruising and look set to make it 12 Premier League games unbeaten

    56 mins (1-2): Bournemouth are back in this, as Fraser takes the ball past Milner with his first touch and gets brought down. Wilson sends Karius the wrong way from the spot

    64 mins (1-3): The threat of a comeback is short-lived, as Mane takes the ball off Ake and pulls it back to Can to curl home. Five minutes later, Mane comes off with the job seemingly done

    72 mins: Liverpool are inches away from going 4-1 up, as Boruc holds Milner’s corner, but almost takes it back past his line. Goal-line technology shows it was millimetres from being 100% across the line.

    76 mins (2-3): Fraser gets Bournemouth back in it, as he converts Wilson’s cross, which had been mis-controlled into his path by Afobe

    78 mins (3-3): Cook scores a brilliant goal, as he takes the ball with his back to goal, before turning and smashing home

    90 mins: Origi almost wins it for Liverpool, but he fires over from close range

    90+3 mins (4-3): Absolute scenes. Bournemouth win it as Karius makes a total mess of Cook’s shot and Ake has an open net to tap into
