Fulham was only the second page that achieved a Premier League victory against Arne Slots Liverpool when they scored on Sunday afternoon with a 3-2 victory in Craven Cottage.
Almost seven months after Nottingham Forest had met against a 1-0 win in Angeld, Fulham brought the game to Liverpool. The cottagers, who were not defeated by Alexis Mac Allister’s blasiger start, scored three goals in the first half in 14 minutes.
Luis Diaz halved the deficit in the second half, but Fulham bravely clung to all three points.
How the game unfolds
Fulham boss Marco Silva called for a performance “almost perfection” from his out-of-shape skins. They delivered.
Liverpools suffocating Double Act of the midfield forced visitors to an early lead. Ryan Gravenberch was the first in a loose ball in midfield and Mac Allister was in second place on the stage and went forward before drilling a crispy drive into the upper corner. But Fulham then dipped into the climb.
The reds were less than ten minutes ahead before Ryan Sessegtnon checked half a volley into the lower corner and had miscalculated Curtis Jones with the emergency rights defender. Fulham’s devilish press also proved to be too much for the other full -back from Liverpool.
Andy Robertson guilty of a trio of errors in the construction of Fulham’s second goal and finally accidentally distracted Alex Iwobis Streik beyond his own goalkeeper.
Rodrigo Muniz Castle with Fulham’s third goal in 14 breathless minutes a flash in the first half. The Brazilian striker managed to tame a ball from the cloudless London sky and turn Virgil van Dijk past the same scandalous note. Even when Muniz fell to the lawn, he shot his shot between Caoimhin Kelleher’s open legs.
Unimpressed by the attempts of his start -xi to shake away when deficit, the slot crossed four substitutes with more than a quarter of the remaining competition. Two of these arrivals combined in the 72nd minute when Conor Bradley drove the Infield before leaving the ball so that Luis Diaz went beyond Bernd Leno.
Diogo Jota forced an excellent rescue from Leno and Harvey Elliott fell a curly effort in front of the latte when Fulham’s backline fell so deep that they were almost shoulder with the fans behind their destination. However, their determination would not be pierced to ensure that Liverpool’s title crowning had to wait another week.
Take a look at the player reviews of Fulham 3-2 Liverpool here.
“People want new players in our club, people want players,” Robertson sniffed at the beginning of this season. “This is just the world we live in.” While the transmission speculation is more far -reaching than ever, the decreasing services of the Scots have not contributed much to suppress the different voices.
Robertson’s fights in this term were distilled in a devastating passage in the 32nd minute. In view of Fulham’s approaching press, the 31-year-old joked a nervous pass directly to Iwobi. His weak header was not satisfied with an giveaway and returned the ball to Fulham’s striker, who defeated Kelleher with a tame strain that splashed from Robertson’s chest.
It was painful that Robertson’s last hint of half was a failed attempt to control a simple pass that turned through the touch.
Since he joined all of this test in response to all this exam, Robertson has served bravely as a reliable left -back from Liverpool in the past eight years. He remains the first choice, but there is a growing suspicion that he could be replaced in the next season.
Fulham’s Antonee Robinson was often brought up as a potential candidate – and did not harm itself on Sunday with another measured exhibition.
Mohamed Salah lives in the stratospheric area of players who break an endless range of hits with every excursion. However, the downside of this coin is the increased test that increases this elite individual on the rare opportunity that you do not find the network.
Four consecutive excursions without a destination or assist not even approach a remarkable status for most players. The last time Salah suffered a drought was in the Lockdown era from 2021.
After Salah pulled a gap against Paris Saint-Germain, Newcastle United and Everton, he was brought to the edge of the Sunday competition again. When he had the first look at the goal with his second touch in the box in the 65th minute, the leading scorer of the Premier League came up with his efforts.
It would be very easy to start a tirade against the newly discovered self -satisfaction of Liverpool. The Reds had not lost a game in the Premier League in which they had scored the first goal since April 2023. This run ended a day after everyone had apparently accepted Liverpool’s status as a top champions.
However, Fulham exerted the pressure to stumble Liverpools.
Apart from his flawless finish, Muniz was an eternal pest that flooded around Van Dijk to leave the known inherently unshakable central defender unmistakably. The houses were not only brave enough to press, but selected their moments to perfectly overthrow.
When Fulham’s five-man re-hat was exposed to the pressure in the final phase with a purple pressure of the pressure. At the end of a week in which the FA Cup quarter-final output was reinforced by a derby defeat against Arsenal, Marco Silva’s team gathered impressively.
