Alexander-Arnold’s 89th minute goal in front of the Kop came just moments after Wataru Endo equalised for the hosts, with Fulham taking a shock lead in the 80th minute when Bobby Decordova-Reid headed in at the back post.
Liverpool led twice in the first half thanks to sublime goals from Alexander-Arnold and Alexis Mac Allister, but Jurgen Klopp’s side were too open at the back and a resilient Fulham team twice found equalisers.
Marco SIlva’s side then looked set to earn a rare away win at Anfield when Decordova-Reid headed in but Liverpool produced a stunning response, with substitute Endo pulling one back before Alexander-Arnold hit a brilliant winner in front of the Kop.

Liverpool vs Fulham - pre-match stats
We’re rapidly closing in on kick-off here so here are a few pre-match stats:
- Fulham have scored just four goals in 16 Premier League away games against Liverpool, and never more than once in a match. It’s the lowest goals-per-game ratio (0.25) of any team to play more than 10 away games against an opponent in the competition.
- Since a 1-0 defeat to Fulham at Anfield in March 2021, which was the sixth consecutive league defeat suffered by the Reds on home soil, Liverpool have lost just one of their last 48 Premier League matches at Anfield (W37 D10) – a 2-1 loss to Leeds United in October 2022.
- Fulham have won none of their last six away Premier League games (D3 L3), though their last win was on Merseyside in August, a 1-0 win at Everton. Indeed, Fulham have won four of their last five away league games against Everton and Liverpool (L1), having only won one of their first 55 such visits in league football beforehand.
