The unbeaten record in the last 7 matches against Fulham is the motivation for Liverpool to confidently visit Craven Cottage in the framework of round 31 of the English Premier League on the evening of April 6. In addition to Arsenal's draw with Everton, Liverpool can completely increase the gap to 14 points at the top of the table if they win against Fulham, getting closer to the championship title this season.
Alexis Mac Allister opens the scoring for Liverpool
Liverpool's determination was quickly confirmed by the opening goal in the 14th minute in a fairly balanced match. After recovering the ball from Ryan Gravenberch, Mac Allister dribbled decisively and then fired a shot from a distance, tearing the home team's net wide.
In the previous round, Fulham suffered a 1-2 defeat at Arsenal, a result that prevented coach Marco Silva's team from advancing straight into the Top 8. Therefore, no one was surprised when Fulham launched a fierce attack after conceding a goal against Liverpool.
Ryan Sessegnon scores the equalizer for Fulham
In the 23rd minute, Andreas Pereira crossed the ball into Liverpool's penalty area. Defender Curtis Jones was startled and the ball bounced back, accidentally creating an assist for Ryan Sessegnon to score the equalizer 1-1 for Fulham.
Alex Iwobi 32nd minute...
Relieving the pressure, Fulham played better and better, scoring two more goals in the next 15 minutes thanks to Alex Iwobi (minute 32) and Rodrigo Muniz (minute 37). The game happened so quickly that Liverpool fans couldn't come to their senses, because since the beginning of the season, "The Kop" had never conceded three goals in the first 45 minutes of a match.
... and Rodrigo Muniz scored two goals in quick succession, putting Fulham 3-1 ahead.
Liverpool's efforts in the second half only helped them score one more goal in the 72nd minute through Luis Diaz, narrowing the gap to 2-3. This was also the final score of the match, forcing Liverpool to accept their second defeat since the beginning of the season and allowing second-placed Arsenal to narrow the gap to just 11 points with seven matches remaining.
Luis Diaz shortened the gap but Liverpool still lost 2-3 in the end
Chelsea travelled to Brentford's GTech Community Stadium and were held to a 0-0 draw by their neighbours in the London derby, facing the risk of being knocked out of fourth place in the table.
Southampton return to the Championship despite 7 rounds remaining
Tottenham got their 11th home win of the season when they defeated bottom team Southampton 3-1, temporarily rising to 13th place in the Premier League table after 31 rounds. This defeat also officially caused Southampton to receive their first relegation ticket.
