Liverpool dominated Sunday’s Premier League match at Craven Cottage, leapfrogging Manchester City in the table after a 3-1 win over Fulham. The goals were scored by Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota, on the other hand by Timothy Castagne.
Liverpool had a great chance in the third minute, but Luis Díaz sent a header from the center just wide of the left post. The Reds’ good start to the game continued with a few more hints, but then things settled down on the pitch.
Subsequently, the bad offensive form of the entire team showed itself twice. Diogo Jota only fired his second leg in a scoring chance. A few minutes later, Harvey Elliot hit the ball weakly into the bottom of the wall from a free kick.
In the 32nd minute, the guests were already rejoicing from a similar position, as Trent Alexander-Arnold swept the left post. And three minutes later it could have been even worse for Fulham, but Bernd Leno reflexively took another goal shot.
Subsequently, Fulham got into the match, but Alisson Becker caught Rodrigo Muniz’s first promising chance. In the set-up, the Brazilian goalkeeper was already short of another player, and the Belgian Timothy Castagne pushed his way to the left post from the stop.
Liverpool confirmed the gain of 3 points in the second half
After changing sides, Elliot shot himself again, the ground shot missed the goal area at all. However, it was different in the 54th minute, when Ryan Gravenberch leaned on the ball behind the goal and did not give Leno a chance at the right post.
And the Reds’ pressure didn’t stop there. Jota and Cody Gakpo threw away other promising chances in turn. In the 72nd minute, the Portuguese Jota was already celebrating when he was lucky to shoot past Lena. Even his run was on the border of offside.
In the 89th minute, goalkeeper Becker still had to pull off a great save, Munize’s subsequent shot hit the post. After a 3:1 win, Liverpool equaled Arsenal at the top of the table, while third-placed Manchester City has a game to spare and loses two points. Fulham is in 12th place.
