Liverpool kicked the meal served by Arsenal.
Liverpool lost 2-3 in the 31st round of the English Premier League (EPL) of the 2024-2025 season against Fulham at Craven Cottage in London, England, at 11 p.m. on the 6th (Korea time). Liverpool maintained a gap with second-place Arsenal.
Liverpool started Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo, Dominique Sobosleri, Mohamed Salah, Alexis McAllister, Ryan Hravenberg, Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Curtis Jones and Quibin Kelleher.
Liverpool scored the opening goal in the 13th minute of the first half. McAllister caught the ball in the center and then boldly went up and scored a mid-range shot, making it easy to win.
Fulham fought back quickly. Ryan Sessegnon, who entered the penalty box in the 23rd minute of the first half as Jones failed to handle the cross properly, finished with a strong shot. The game came to square one.
Liverpool's defense didn't come to its senses. In the 32nd minute of the first half, he also gave Fulham a chance because he could not handle the ball in front of the penalty box. Alex Iwobi scored a come-from-behind goal with an accurate shot in front of the defender.
It was Fulham's feast day. In the 37th minute of the first half, Iwobi's high ball was caught by Hodori Munis as he overcame the competition with Van Dijk. Munis even scored an additional goal by targeting Kelleher's crotch properly. Fulham had the best first half, Liverpool were the worst.
In the second half, it was important for Liverpool to quickly score a comeback goal. Liverpool's attack was certainly not sharp in the game. Still, Liverpool was Liverpool. Liverpool quickly switched to attack after blocking Fulham's pass in the 27th minute of the second half. Conor Bradley came in to center and sent a pass. Luis Diaz scored with a half-beat fast shot. Liverpool are back in the air.
Liverpool did not follow the flow to the equalizer. The sense of stability at the back was unleading. Federico Chiesa's surprise shot in the second half of the extra time was blocked by the goalkeeper.
It was a game that Liverpool could almost confirm the championship as Arsenal drew, but Liverpool lost their pride as they suffered a come-from-behind defeat. There is a nine-point gap with second-place Arsenal. Now the league has seven games left.
