Liverpool Drop Points Again After 2-2 Draw With Fulham

Liverpool dropped points again following a 2-2 draw against Fulham at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Reds went into the game hoping to return to winning ways after their 3-3 draw at Newcastle United.

Arne Slot’s men had to play most parts of the game with 10 men after Andy Robertson was sent off.

Liverpool remain top on the log 36 points and could see their lead cut to two points if Chelsea beat Brentford on Sunday.

Fulham were looking threatening on the transition and were rewarded just 11 minutes into the game.

After smart combination play on the left, Antonee Robinson found Andreas with a deep cross and the Brazilian had an acrobatic effort at the back post ricochet off Robertson, beating Alisson.

Wilson raced in behind minutes later and was brought down by Robertson who – after a lengthy VAR check – was shown a red card for denial of a goalscoring opportunity.

Liverpool started the second half strong and did find their equaliser minutes after the break.

Mohamed Salah found Cody Gakpo at the back post with a deep cross, and the Dutchman beat Bernd Leno with a header. VAR checked for a foul on Kenny Tete, but the onfield decision to allow the goal was upheld.

Robinson once again found space in behind Alexander-Arnold and drilled a ball across the face of goal for Rodrigo to apply the finish.

Liverpool levelled with five minutes left of normal time; Jota turned well to find space between Diop and Cuenca, sending Leno the wrong way with his finish.
