Liverpool draw with Fulham despite being short-handed

Huyền Nga |

Defender Robertson's red card caused Liverpool to share points in the pursuit of Fulham right at Anfield.

After a surprise draw with Arsenal in the previous round, Fulham came to Anfield with high confidence. This was quickly materialized by an early opening goal.

In the 11th minute, from Robinson's cross from the left wing, midfielder Pereira flew in and shot from close range, hitting defender Robertson's foot and into the net.

The turning point of the match came in the 17th minute, when Liverpool's left-back made a mistake in controlling the ball, putting midfielder Wilson face-to-face with goalkeeper Alisson. Robertson's subsequent foul resulted in a red card from the referee.

Despite playing with one less man early on, Liverpool still showed impressive ball possession and created many chances in front of Fulham's goal. However, the home team's strikers were unable to defeat goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

On the opposite side, the away team with their defensive counter-attacking style continuously threatened goalkeeper Alisson's goal. But the goal to double the gap still did not come for coach Marco Silva and his team.

The surprise came right at the beginning of the second half, when Mohamed Salah shined again with a well-placed pass for striker Gakpo to head in and equalize the score. With the equalizer, the home team regained their confidence and completely dominated the match.

Liverpool had many chances to take the lead in the match, but Salah was unlucky in his finishing. While the Kop fans were thinking about a goal, they suddenly received another cold shower.

In the 76th minute, during a lightning attack by Fulham, Robinson continued to be the hero with a cross for substitute striker Muniz to finish close to the goal, raising the score to 2-1.

With nothing to lose, coach Arne Slot's team pushed up their formation to attack in search of an equalizer. All efforts were finally rewarded in the 86th minute, when substitute striker Jota made a delicate turn, eliminating a Fulham defender and finishing accurately to score a valuable goal, tying the score at 2-2.

In the final minutes of the match, both teams continuously had situations of tit-for-tat but no more goals were scored. Liverpool had to accept to share points with Fulham in a match with one less player.

Despite only winning 1 point, Arne Slot's team showed a brave fighting spirit and impressive scoring ability. They are currently leading the Premier League with 36 points, 5 points more than second-placed Chelsea, but have played a game less.
