Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson trimmed the gap to one point with a penalty kick in the 56th minute, but Liverpool immediately answered back in the 64th with a goal by Emre Can for a 3-1 lead.
However, the Cherries pulled off a stunning comeback by scoring three goals in the last 14 minutes. Bournemouth's Ryan Fraser, Steve Cook, and Nathan Ake scored one goal each in the 76th, 78th, and 90th+3 minutes to beat the powerful visitors.
Meanwhile, West Ham United was crushed by second-place squad Arsenal, 1-5, at the London Stadium last Saturday for the team's fifth consecutive winless performances, The Sun reported.
Mesut Özil scored the lone goal in the first half to give the visitors a 1-0 lead at the break. Alexis Sanchez then ran riot in the second half by netting a hat trick in the 72nd, 80th, and 86th minutes.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had a goal in the 84th minute to complete the Gunners' five-goal haul while West Ham striker Andy Carroll netted a consolation goal in the 83rd.
