Liverpool dropped further points after being held to a dramatic 2-2 draw by Fulham at Anfield on Saturday, despite playing a large portion of the match with ten men.
The Reds had been looking to bounce back from their 3-3 draw at Newcastle, but were forced into a difficult afternoon after Andy Robertson was sent off following a VAR review for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.
Softfootball understands Fulham took an early lead through a deflected effort from Andreas Pereira before Rodrigo Muniz doubled the visitors’ advantage in the second half.
Liverpool responded with great determination despite their numerical disadvantage.
Cody Gakpo sparked the comeback by heading home a precise Mohamed Salah cross, while relentless pressure eventually paid off when Diogo Jota calmly finished late in normal time to rescue a valuable point for the hosts.
The draw extended Liverpool’s winless run to two league matches and highlighted Fulham’s resilience against one of the division’s strongest sides. Marco Silva’s men produced a disciplined performance and came close to leaving Anfield with all three points.
The result leaves Liverpool top of the table on 36 points, though their lead could be trimmed to just two points should Chelsea beat Brentford on Sunday.
