Bournemouth scored three goals in the final 14 minutes to complete a remarkable fightback and beat Liverpool 4-3 at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday.

Nathan Ake bundled home a stoppage-time winner for the hosts, who had been 3-1 down with 75 minutes played, to end Liverpool's 15-match unbeaten run in dramatic style.

Sadio Mane (20) and Divock Origi (22) put the visitors in control at half-time, and they looked comfortable again when Emre Can restored their two-goal cushion (64) following Callum Wilson's 56th-minute penalty, won by substitute Ryan Fraser.

But Bournemouth stunned their opponents with a late rally as Fraser pulled one back himself (76) before setting up Steve Cook's equaliser two minutes later (78).

Jurgen Klopp made six changes from the team that beat Leeds 2-0 in midweek, and his side deservedly raced into a two-goal lead.

The home side, who restored Jack Wilshere and Artur Boruc to their line-up, were overrun in the early stages and fell behind when Mane beat Ake for pace and poked in from close range.

Origi added Liverpool's second two minutes later, rounding Boruc and finishing superbly from a tight angle.

The hosts improved slightly before half-time and had a penalty appeal rejected when Ake went to ground under the challenge of Roberto Firmino.

But the introduction of Fraser, who replaced the injured Junior Stanislas, paid immediate dividends as the substitute was tripped by James Milner, with Wilson on target from the spot-kick.

Can seemed to have given Liverpool the breathing space required to see the game out when he curled past Boruc from 18 yards, but his strike simply set the stage for Bournemouth's comeback.

Fraser fired past Loris Karius before his cross was expertly controlled and finished by Cook as the hosts struck twice in two minutes to level.

With Liverpool on the back foot, Benik Afobe saw a low effort saved well by Karius, but the Reds goalkeeper failed to cover himself in glory for Bournemouth's winner.

He spilled Cook's long-range drive, allowing Ake to steal in and tap home.

Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid: Sergio Ramos header steals late El Clasico draw

A late Sergio Ramos header stole a point for Real Madrid in Saturday's El Clasico as they drew 1-1 with Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

The visitors shaded the goalless opening period as Luis Enrique's men failed to find their groove, but they made the breakthrough in the 53rd minute as Luis Suarez headed home from a Neymar free-kick.

Barca had a number of chances to add more to their tally throughout the second half, but were punished on the stroke of full time, as Ramos met a Luka Modric free-kick to see the points shared in the clash of the La Liga titans.

The draw sees Barcelona remain six points behind Real at the top of the table, but they will rue failing to see out a much-needed victory. 

It was a rather cagey opening at the Nou Camp and the Catalan club had few chances in the opening 45 minutes.

Neymar raced forward 11 minutes in and, despite a slip in the box, managed to find Sergio Roberto at the back post. He took on the shot in a packed area, but it hit the chest of Ramos and went wide as the hosts waved for a penalty, claims dismissed by referee Clos Gomez.

Real began to find their attacking edge just after the 20 minute mark, and it was Vasquez who was causing trouble down the left flank, but Mascherano was there twice to blocked his crosses in quick succession - the second seeing him get away without conceding a penalty after a tug on the shirt of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The slippery surface at the Nou Camp continued to play a part as Ronaldo tried to go for the overhead kick but ended up on the floor, with Benzema also going down as he tried to latch onto the loose ball with Roberto clearing the danger. It only fell as far as Marcelo but his effort flew past the post.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen was called into action twice in quick succession to deny Ronaldo. The first came in the 37th minute as Real put together a fantastic counter-attack, but the forward was denied on an angle, before latching onto a Vasquez pass two minutes later but seeing his shot saved low by the stopper.

Real could twice have taken a late lead in the final minute of the half as Gerard Pique just poked a Karim Benzema cross past his own post, before Ter Stegen was again down low to save from Raphael Varane header.

But Barcelona were the ones to make the breakthrough eight minutes after the restart to send the Nou Camp into raptures. Neymar delivered a free-kick - which he had won near the touchline- and found the head of Suarez in the middle of the box, the Uruguayan getting ahead of Varane.

The hosts continued to have a number of chances to add to their tally in the second half, with Neymar collecting a pass from substitute Andreas Iniesta - the driving force for Barcelona in the final half-hour - just before the 70 minute mark, rounding Carvajal, but firing over the crossbar.

Just seconds later, Iniesta took matters into his own hands but rippled the side netting, before Messi and Neymar linked up on the left-hand side in a rare moment during the game, the Brazilian seeing his crossed blocked by Varane.

The Argentine also missed a golden chance in the 82nd minute and should have made it two. He collected a sublime pass from Iniesta in the middle of the box with Real goalkeeper Keylor Navas and the goal at his mercy, but he fired wide of the upright.

With time ticking down, Real ramped up the pressure to take something from the game as Ramos headed over the crossbar in the 88th minute, before Jordi Alba poked a Ronaldo header at the back post just wide.

But it was captain Ramos who struck on the stroke of full-time, and finding himself unmarked in the box, powered home a header from a Modric free-kick to seal a point for the visiting side and ensure their unbeaten run in all competitions stretches to 33 games.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Newcastle: Jamaal Lascelles own goal sinks nine-man Magpies

Nottingham Forest missed two penalties but still managed to come from behind to beat nine-man Newcastle 2-1 in a chaotic Sky Bet Championship clash on Friday night.

First-half red cards for Jonjo Shelvey and Paul Dummett both resulted in penalties for Forest - either side of Matt Ritchie putting Newcastle in front - but goalkeeper Karl Darlow denied Nicklas Bendtner then Henri Lansbury on his return to the City Ground.

Forest then equalised shortly after the break as Bendtner poked home from close range, before finally finding the winner in the 86th minute after Jamaal Lascelles put through his own net.

Newcastle stay top heading into the rest of the weekend's action, but their two-point lead means that Brighton could go top with victory at Cardiff on Saturday.

It actually started as a rather quiet night at the City Ground, with very little happening in the opening exchanges. That all changed after 33 minutes, though, when Shelvey saw red for an off-the-ball incident after appearing to kick out at Lansbury when the two were grappling on the ground.

His dismissal resulted in a penalty for Forest and the start of a rather remarkable chain of events. Bendtner stepped up to the spot but his unconvincing effort was beaten away by Darlow. 

Two minutes later the ball was in the back of the net at the other end, but referee Stephen Martin frustrated Newcastle once again as he ruled that Ciaran Clark had been pulling on the shirt of Matt Mills as he ran in and headed home Ritchie's free-kick.

Newcastle were then furious not to be awarded a penalty after 39 minutes when DeAndre Yedlin's cross clearly struck the arm of Pajtim Kasami in the box, but the deadlock was finally broken on the stroke of half-time, as Ritchie flashed home an unstoppable strike from 12 yards when the ball had ricocheted into his path.

That, however, would not be the final action before the break. Deep into stoppage time Dummett controversially saw red for bundling Lansbury over in the box while last man. The Forest captain got up to take it himself, but he was also denied from the spot as Darlow guessed right again, this time diving to his right to keep it out.

Benitez sent his side out to defend for their lives in the second half, but they could only hold out for seven minutes as Forest found their equaliser. Bendtner made up for his earlier penalty miss as he scrambled home the ball from close range after seeing his initial effort kept out well by Darlow.

Despite their huge numerical disadvantage, Newcastle defended with superb resilience and it took a real moment of misfortune four minutes from the end for their resistance to finally break, as Lascelles, also on his return to Forest, accidentally steered the ball into his own net from point-blank range after a corner had bounced all the way through to him.

For Philippe Montanier's side it's a third victory in a row, and they climb up to 13th in the Championship table, just four points off the play-offs.

Nottingham Forest boss Philippe Montanier:

"It was a crazy game. To see the goalkeeper stop two penalties, the last time I saw that I was playing as a goalkeeper! Then to play 11 against nine was also crazy. When we [were 1-0 down] against this team it was difficult, but we showed great passion in the second half to find the solution. We are happy with the three points.

"My honest view is that I didn't see [the penalty incidents] because I was so far away. But we can't change the decisions of the referee. They're the best team in the Championship with a lot of qualities. We had to be patient and for us it's a good victory."

Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez:

"Everything was against us. You could see in the game we have a lot of things we can complain about. But I was really surprised with Lansbury. The way he was acting, twice with the penalties and also with Jonjo Shelvey, but maybe he's proud of himself.

"If the referee cannot see that Lansbury was kicking Jonjo before, I will not defend Jonjo as he made a mistake, but [Lansbury] was kicking him before from behind. Sometimes the FA take action also on the players that are over-reacting, so [maybe that will happen here].

"[With Dummett's sending off] it was very clear the No 10 (Lansbury) was waiting for him. So maybe again the FA can analyse this and see the behaviour of the No 10."
