Liverpool made sure they kept pace in the Premier League title race as Trent Alexander-Arnold struck a dramatic winner to defeat Fulham in a seven-goal thriller at Anfield.
Alexander-Arnold’s 89th minute goal in front of the Kop came just moments after Wataru Endo equalised for the hosts, with Fulham taking a shock lead in the 80th minute when Bobby Decordova-Reid headed in at the back post.
Liverpool led twice in the first half thanks to sublime goals from Alexander-Arnold and Alexis Mac Allister, but Jurgen Klopp’s side were too open at the back and a resilient Fulham team twice found equalisers.
Marco SIlva’s side then looked set to earn a rare away win at Anfield when Decordova-Reid headed in but Liverpool produced a stunning response, with substitute Endo pulling one back before Alexander-Arnold hit a brilliant winner in front of the Kop.
