Liverpool vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result as Diogo Jota snatches late equaliser for ten-man Reds
Liverpool 2-2 Fulham: A breathless games saw Fulham lead twice and Liverpool play 75 minutes with 10 men after Andy Robertson’s red card but Jota snatched a draw late on
Liverpool’s Diogo Jota bagged a last-gasp equaliser to salvage a breathless 2-2 Premier League draw with Fulham for the 10-man Reds at Anfield with Arne Slot’s men twice roaring back from a goal down.
Liverpool remain top of the table on 36 points and with a game in hand after the postponement of last weekend’s match at Everton but their slip will give their title rivals hope.
Andreas Pereira got Fulham on the scoresheet in the 11th minute with an acrobatic volley from Antonee Robinson’s cross which took a bounce off Andy Robertson’s thigh before Robertson was shown a red card six minutes later for a lunging tackle on Harry Wilson.
Cody Gakpo levelled in the 47th minute when he dived from close range to head in Mohamed Salah’s sumptuous cross but Rodrigo Muniz put Fulham ahead again 14 minutes from time when he bundled in Robinson’s cross while crashing into Alisson.
However, Liverpool continued to press and Jota brilliantly slotted past Bernd Leno on 86 minutes as the Reds narrowly avoided what would have been only the second loss for Slot in 23 games across all competitions.

This is better from Liverpool. Salah gets room down the left and lays the ball back for Szoboszlai to dink in towards Diaz. He’s got a lot of space around eight yards out but makes a mess of the header which flies well over. A warning sign for Fulham as we approach half-time.

Alexander-Arnold whips in a free-kick from the right and Van Dijk gets his head to it but it’s straight at Leno. The Dutchman couldn’t get a proper connection on that as he stretched his neck back

Bit of a scrap between Tete and Gomez that ends with both men getting a talking to from the referee. No yellow cards for once in this game..

Mo Salah has been almost non-existent in this game so far but it only takes one moment for the Egyptian to change a game.
But Fulham are still on top and a lovely, flowing attack sees Robinson cross low, the ball flicked to Wilson and only a brave Gomez block stops the shot on target.
