Liverpool may have bid farewell to their Premier League title hopes with a tame 2-2 draw with West Ham United on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp's goodbye has quickly descended into chaos and the Reds did little to end the turbulence here. They now sit behind both Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings, despite having played more games.
It all started with yet another set-piece which Jarrod Bowen nodded beyond a sleepy Liverpool defence.
Klopp clearly made an impression at the break as Liverpool came flying out of the gates.
Andy Robertson struck an equaliser within minutes of the restart, and it looked as though Liverpool were about to turn things around.
Cody Gakpo's strike ended up in the back of the net courtesy of no fewer than three deflections - Alphonse Areola the unlucky man to be credited with the own goal after earlier flicks from Angelo Ogbonna and Tomas Soucek.
However, Liverpool could not hold on and once again became their own worst enemies.
Alisson failed to deal with a routine cross and, while he made a great save from the shot that followed, Liverpool failed to clear their lines and Bowen's cross was gleefully headed home by Michail Antonio, who has now scored in three straight games for the first time in almost three years.
Liverpool offered very little as the game ticked on and ultimately had to settle for a point, bidding farewell to their title hopes in the process.
A penny for the thoughts of a certain Arne Slot?
