Liverpool lost for the second time of the Premier League season on the lawn of Fulham (3-2). Reds are not yet champions.
With the elimination in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain and defeat in the League Cup final against Newcastle, it only remains in Liverpool to complete the case in the Premier League. Except that it will take a little more time than expected. The Reds lost (3-2) for the second time of the season on Saturday, on the lawn of Fulham, and left Everton’s victorious Arsenal the day before, return to 11 points. The suspense is very limited, but it will take to validate this coronation in the next home match against West Ham on Sunday.
The men of Arne Slot had however opened the scoring on a jewel of Alexis Mac Allister, author of a heavy strike 20 meters after recovery and a breakthrough (0-1, 14th). The Argentinian had marked on an even more spectacular strike last season against these same cottages.
Ryan Sessegnon, on an error by Curtis Jones (1-1, 23rd), then Alex Iwobi, on the lookout after a pass missed by Andy Robertson (2-1, 32nd) and finally Rodrigo Muniz (3-1, 37th), overthrew the situation before the break.
But mathys such
In the second period, Luis Diaz, with the tip of the penalty point, deceived Leno to reduce the gap (3-2, 72nd). Fulham is suddenly 3 points from the top 6, even if Newcastle, 7th, has two less matches.
At the same time, Tottenham dominated Southampton (3-1) thanks to a double by Brenan Johnson and a penalty transformed by Mathys Tel, the French loaned by Bayern Munich. Brentford and Chelsea could not decide (0-0).
