Jurgen Klopp’s side shrugged off their Europa League exit and a disappointing loss to Crystal Palace as they kept pace with the title race. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s stunning free-kick gave Liverpool the lead in the first half, but Timothy Castagne’s goal for Fulham just before halftime leveled the score temporarily.
However, Liverpool dominated the second half, with Ryan Gravenberch restoring their lead with a superb strike before Diogo Jota sealed the win with a clinical finish. The result sees Liverpool move onto 74 points, tied with Arsenal but sitting in second place due to goal difference, while Manchester City trails closely behind in third.
The victory was a much-needed boost for Klopp’s side after recent stumbles, reaffirming their determination to challenge for the league title. Despite a spirited effort from Fulham, Liverpool’s quality ultimately shone through as they secured a vital three points in the race for the championship.
With key fixtures ahead, including the Merseyside derby against Everton, Liverpool will be looking to maintain their momentum and keep the pressure on at the top of the table.
