Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp praised his players’ reaction and regretted his own on the touchline after they came from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1 and leave his side three wins from a first title in in 30 years.

Goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane turned things around after Callum Wilson’s controversial opener for the visitors as the runaway leaders set a new record of 22 successive top-flight home wins.

Wilson’s goal came after he had appeared to push Joe Gomez off the ball in the build-up and such was Klopp’s frustration a foul was not given he celebrated wildly at assistant referee Dan Cook when Salah’s equaliser went in – actions he immediately regretted afterwards.

A ninth defeat in 10 away games and a run of just three victories in 18 league matches leaves Bournemouth mired in 18th and in real danger of relegation.

“I thought we performed really well. I can’t be critical of too much of what we did,” said Cherries manager Eddie Howe.

“We knew we would have limited possession. It was a case of how well we defended.

“I thought our defensive shape was really good. What cost us the game was two moments in our half where we turned the ball over too easily.”
