Liverpool Chances of moving to second spot on the table was shattered by Bournemouth’s stunning comeback at the vitality stadium.
Nathan Ake grabbed a stoppage-time winner in a dramatic 4-3 victory over Liverpool, who twice surrendered a two-goal lead on Sunday.
Goals from Sadio Mane and Divock Origi had Liverpool ahead at the break and the points still seemed to be heading back to Anfield when Emre Can’s strike restored their two-goal advantage following Callum Wilson’s penalty.
But Fraser, who had come off the bench to win the spot-kick, then buried his maiden Premier League goal before crossing for Simon Cook to superbly equalise, with Ake bundling home a last-gasp winner as Loris Karius failed to hold another Cook effort.
Liverpool were straight on the front foot and Origi should have opened the scoring with 10 minutes on the clock but the forward failed to make meaningful contact with Nathaniel Clyne’s low cross.
And the opening goal came shortly afterwards as Can lofted a perfectly weighted pass to Mane who got the wrong side of Ake before poking past the onrushing Artur Boruc.
Milner did well to win a corner and swung it in himself with Boruc catching and almost carrying the ball over his line, with the goal-line technology showing it was centimetres from giving Liverpool an unassailable lead.
Instead, Eddie Howe’s men turned the screw and it was Fraser who gobbled up the chance to thrash the hosts back into the contest as he latched onto a loose ball in the box.
And they were not finished there as Cook controlled and finished off a Fraser cross with aplomb to leave Klopp fuming on the touch-line.
Another Bournemouth substitute, Benik Afobe, came close to completing a remarkable comeback but his effort was kept out by a sprawling Karius.
But a famous win would be secured in the dying embers as Cook’s low drive from the edge of the box was spilled by Karius into the path of Ake, who bundled home.
