After the high of beating Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield, came the low of losing 1-0 to rock-bottom Bournemouth for Liverpool.
Philip Billing's first-half strike proved to be the difference between the teams on Saturday afternoon, although Mohamed Salah had the chance to level the scores with a penalty kick he fired wide of the goal.
This performance embodied the stop-start nature of the Reds' season, which has been filled with false dawns and reality checks. Making the top four is still a possible outcome, but Liverpool must begin to fix their away form to secure a Champions League spot.
