It was a tough finish as Albion fans watched their heroes go ahead but lose 2-1 against Liverpool at Anfield. Supporters still enjoyed a great day out.

Liverpool replaced Manchester City at the top of the Premier League on a dramatic day that saw both the champions and title rivals Arsenal slip up.

Arne Slot’s side were also given an uncomfortable time before coming from behind to beat Brighton 2-1 at Anfield.

That took the Reds above City, who were surprisingly beaten 2-1 at Bournemouth, while the Gunners slipped to fourth after falling to a 1-0 loss at Newcastle.

City were stunned at the Vitality Stadium as Antoine Semenyo put the Cherries ahead on nine minutes and Evanilson doubled the lead after the hour. The hosts almost had a third when Marcus Tavernier hit the woodwork.

Pep Guardiola’s side set up a nervy finish with an 82nd-minute header from Josko Gvardiol but Bournemouth withstood late pressure to hold on, ending City’s club-record 32-game unbeaten league run.

Liverpool seemed unlikely to take advantage of City’s stumble as as they trailed at the break to a 14th-minute Ferdi Kadioglu strike.

They turned it around with two goals in the space of three minutes, firstly a cross-shot from Cody Gakpo and then a Mohamed Salah rocket.
