Michael Owen criticises Liverpool trio for "rubbish" Bournemouth goal in defeat

Liverpool legend Michael Owen took aim at Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Trent Alexander-Arnold for their roles in Bournemouth's winner on Saturday.

The Reds fell to a disappointing defeat to the struggling Cherries in a blow to their hopes of finishing in the top four of the Premier League. Dango Ouattara left Van Dijk flat-footed down the right, Konate unable to block his cross.

That left Phillip Billing to sweep the ball home, with the Bournemouth star having been left unmarked by Alexander-Arnold. Liverpool were unable to turn around that deficit to fall to their eighth defeat of the season, with Owen pointing the finger of blame at the Reds trio.
