Fulham vs Liverpool
Liverpool moved level on points with Premier League leaders Arsenal after a 3-1 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage. The Reds lacked intent with possession for most of the first half but took the lead through a moment of quality from Alexander-Arnold, who whipped his free-kick from the edge of the box into the top-left corner. However, the Cottagers levelled the score just before the break, with Castagne netting a cool finish from close range into the bottom-left corner. Silva would have expected his team to continue their momentum into the second half, but couldn't find a way past Liverpool's defence and had to wait until the 83rd minute for their next shot. The visitors gained control, with Gravenberch scoring his first Premier League goal with a curling finish into the right corner before Jota doubled the lead with a low strike. Klopp's men only created an xG of 1.02 but will be delighted to return to winning ways in the top flight. They travel to Everton for their next match, with Fulham hosting a confident Palace side. That's all for today, goodbye.
