Liverpool vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result as Diogo Jota scores equalizer for 10-man Reds in a frantic clash

Arne Slot wants the fit-again Alisson to show his level in Liverpool over “weeks and months”.

Liverpool’s Diogo Jota scored a last-gasp equalizer to salvage a breathless 2-2 Premier League draw against Fulham for the 10-man Reds at Anfield, with Arne Slot’s side twice coming from behind.

Liverpool remain top of the table with 36 points and a game to play following last weekend’s postponement against Everton, but this blip gives hope to their title rivals.

Andreas Pereira put Fulham on the scoresheet in the 11th minute with an acrobatic volley from an Antonee Robinson cross that bounced off Andy Robertson’s thigh before Robertson was shown a red card six minutes later for a tackle on Harry Wilson.

Cody Gakpo equalized in the 47th minute when he headed in Mohamed Salah’s superb cross from close range, but Rodrigo Muniz gave Fulham the lead again 14 minutes from time when he crashed Robinson’s cross into Alisson.

However, Liverpool continued to press and Jota brilliantly beat Bernd Leno in the 86th minute as the Reds narrowly avoided Slot’s second defeat in 23 games in all competitions.

FULL TIME! Liverpool – Fulham 2-2,

And it’s over! What a football game and it ends two apiece. Another twist in the title race as Liverpool have to stay in their own pocket but almost lost nothing until Jotas Clasys came through with five minutes to go.

Liverpool played with 10 men for 75 minutes after Andy Rabertson’s red card, so a draw was a very good result in some ways, but they will still feel like the points were lost. But things are also great for football fans all around.

Liverpool – Fulham 2:2, 90+9 mins

Elliott with the corner but it’s terrible and doesn’t clear the first man. That’s better from Elliott, who rolls in a dangerous ball, but LEno strikes clearly. Salah then whistled for handball in the penalty area. Was this Liverpool’s last chance?

The minimum duration of nine minutes has now expired.

Liverpool – Fulham 2:2, 90+8 mins

Given the time that passed after Iwobi was beaten in the Unspeakable, there could be just over nine minutes of injury time added. Liverpool charge forward looking for a decisive winner.

Elliott on the right hits a cross, but it is nodded away. Quansah tries his luck, the same thing again. But then a cross from behind is blocked for a Liverpool corner…

SAVE! Liverpool – Fulham 2:2, 90+6 mins

Here comes Liverpool again. Salah on the right, but his cross is blocked and now Robinson storms forward on the counterattack!

Passed to Traore on the right, he cuts in and shoots a shot towards goal, which Alisson deflects with his legs at the near post. This is hectic stuff. Then Robinson runs back and defends brilliantly against Salah.

Liverpool – Fulham 2:2, 90+3 mins

Fulham have run out of steam here but they still have six minutes to defend. It’s carnage in the Fulham box! The ball flutters around, body on the line. Van Dijk is now in front and strikes, as does Salah.

Elliott cuts inside and shoots, but Robinson throws himself in front of the ball and it goes back to the corner. Leno then gratefully falls onto the ball from this corner. Fulham survives… for now…

A floating cross drifts and drifts further and further before Leno manages to get a palm on it and push it back for the corner. The corner falls to Salah, who shoots a shot into the goal, but Iwobi bravely saves it.

When I say brave I’m serious because it’s catching the Nigerian right in the… well, you can probably imagine… It’s understandably taking a while for him to get back on his feet.

Sander Berge receives a yellow card for a foul and the free kick is shot into the penalty area, where Nunex hits it with his head, but it goes harmlessly wide of the goal. This was a better chance than it seemed.
