Liverpool impresses despite being outnumbered: A point fought against Fulham

On Saturday, Liverpool FC battled to a thrilling 2-2 draw against Fulham. The team's performance was particularly notable as they had to play with one man less from the 17th minute. The "Reds" coach, Arne Slot, expressed his satisfaction with the commitment of his players after they twice equalized a deficit. Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota provided the goals for Liverpool. In the 86th minute, Jota's equalizing goal brought a roar to the home crowd at Anfield, securing the hard-fought point. This result keeps Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table with 36 points from 15 games, ahead of Chelsea. Arne Slot commented on the match and drew a comparison to the Champions League match against Girona: "This time, I am very satisfied with the performance, unlike the game in Girona." While he was disappointed about dropping points against Fulham, he praised his team's resilience and the outstanding support from the fans. The encounter began unfavorably for Liverpool. Andy Robertson had to leave the field early after an unfortunate foul on Harry Wilson, resulting in a lengthy VAR review. The Dutch coach explained that Robertson entered the match already carrying a knock, which led to the rash action. Despite the setback, Slot was impressed by Robertson's strength of character. Due to the red card, it was a challenging afternoon for Robertson, who played a pivotal role in an unfortunate moment for Fulham's first goal when a shot from Andreas Pereira was deflected beyond reach.
