Fulham handed Liverpool only their second Premier League defeat of the season with a thrilling 3-2 victory at Craven Cottage on Sunday, halting the Reds’ impressive 26-match unbeaten streak in the league.
Match Highlights
Liverpool took an early lead with a stunning strike from Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, but Fulham responded fiercely, netting three goals in a dominant 14-minute spell in the first half. Despite a second-half goal from Luis Díaz to narrow the deficit, the Reds couldn’t complete the comeback.
Post-Match Reactions
Liverpool manager admitted his side’s struggles, saying, “We had 14 difficult minutes in the first half and made mistakes that allowed Fulham to score three goals, something that doesn’t usually happen to us.”
Title Race Unaffected
Despite the loss, Liverpool remain comfortably atop the league table, holding an 11-point lead over second-placed Arsenal, who were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton. With just seven matches remaining, the Reds remain strong favorites for the title.
Elsewhere in the Premier League
In the Manchester derby, United and City played out a goalless draw at Old Trafford. City, missing injured striker Erling Haaland (out for six weeks with an ankle injury), failed to reclaim fourth place from Chelsea, trailing by a point. Meanwhile, United languish in 13th with 38 points.
The match also marked Belgian playmaker Kevin De Bruyne’s final Manchester derby, as he confirmed his departure from City at the end of the season after a trophy-laden spell.
Fulham’s victory over Liverpool serves as a major upset in this season’s Premier League, proving once again that no lead is truly safe in English football.
