In a thrilling first half, Liverpool took control of the match, with Rio Ngumoha scoring the opener in the 36th minute.

Just four minutes later, Mohamed Salah doubled the lead, reaching a remarkable 250 non-penalty goals and assists in the Premier League.

Despite Liverpool’s dominance, Fulham managed to pose a threat in the second half, registering 19 shots, the most by an away team at Anfield since the 2003-04 season. However, Liverpool’s defense held firm, ensuring they maintained their clean sheet and secured the three points.
