Ten-Man Liverpool Salvage 2-2 Draw Against Fulham at Anfield
Despite being reduced to ten men after Andrew Robertson's early red card, Liverpool twice came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw against Fulham, with goals from Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota.
Liverpool faced a challenging Premier League encounter at Anfield, playing with ten men from the 17th minute after Andrew Robertson received a red card for a foul on Harry Wilson, 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 76th minute through Rodrigo Muniz, but Liverpool's resilience shone through. Substitute Diogo Jota, returning from injury, salvaged a point with an 86th-minute equalizer, ensuring the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
This result maintains Liverpool's position at the top of the Premier League, five points ahead of second-placed Chelsea. Manager Arne Slot praised his team's determination, stating, "I don't think I could've asked for more from my players, especially after going down to 10 men."
