Liverpool faced a challenging Premier League match against Fulham at Anfield, playing with ten men from the 17th minute after Andrew Robertson received a red card for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity.
Fulham capitalized on their numerical advantage, taking the lead in the 11th minute when Andreas Pereira's shot deflected off Robertson into the net.
Despite the setback, Liverpool equalized early in the second half. In the 47th minute, Mohamed Salah delivered a precise cross from the right flank, finding Cody Gakpo, who executed a diving header to level the score.
Fulham regained the lead in the 70th minute through Rodrigo Muniz, but Liverpool's resilience shone through. Substitute Diogo Jota salvaged a point with an 85th-minute equalizer, ensuring the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
