Fulham faced off against Liverpool in a highly anticipated Premier League clash. The match started off with both teams displaying their attacking prowess, but it was Liverpool who struck first with a goal from Diogo Jota in the 10th minute. Fulham fought back valiantly and managed to equalize through Bobby Decordova-Reid just before halftime.
However, Liverpool came out firing in the second half and regained the lead with a stunning strike from Mohamed Salah in the 65th minute. The Reds continued to dominate possession and put the game out of reach with another goal from Sadio Mane in the 83rd minute. Despite their best efforts, Fulham could not find a way past Liverpool's solid defense.
Trent Alexander-Arnold's superb free-kick sent the Merseysiders on their way (32), but Timothy Castagne hauled Marco Silva's side level on the stroke of half-time (45+2).
Manchester City, and while Mikel Arteta's Gunners side moved top with victory over Wolves on Saturday, Liverpool kept up the pace with a dominant second-half display.
Dropped points in a draw at Manchester United and a shock Anfield defeat by Crystal Palace - with a disappointing Europa League exit to Atalanta sandwiched in between - had threatened to derail hopes of further trophies to add to the Carabao Cup they have already collected this season.
Liverpool back up to second in the table, level on points with leaders Arsenal - but behind the Gunners on goal difference - and a point above third-placed Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
"For 80 minutes we played a really good game," Klopp told BBC Match of the Day.
