Jurgen Klopp’s side saved their blushes on Sunday afternoon when they clawed back a 4-3 win against Fulham at Anfield. With Arsenal extending their lead at the top of the table to four points, the pressure was on the Reds to keep pace as they welcomed Marco Silva’s men. But it was anything but a routine win, Alexander-Arnold opened the scoring when his freekick bounced in off Bernd Leno before former player, Harry Wilson, immediately equalisied. Alexis Mac Allister then found the top corner from far out with a thunderbolt before Fulham once again pipped them back. Bobby de-Cordova Reid…
It all started out so well for Liverpool against Fulham. The Reds were well on top of the match, creating chances early and often. Trent Alexander-Arnold put an exclamation point on the early pressure with a fantastic free kick that clipped the crossbar before coming off the back of Bernd Leno to open the scoring in the 20th minute. Fulham would not go away, however, and twice came back from a goal down before going ahead themselves in the 80th minute. For the fourth time this season, however, Liverpool came back from a losing position to get the win, with Alexander-Arnold netting…
Jurgen Klopp admitted that he’s never seen four goals the calibre of Liverpool’s in one game following the victory over Fulham. The Reds earned a pulsating 4-3 triumph at Anfield to continue their perfect record at Anfield this season. Trent Alexander-Arnold appeared to open the scoring from a free-kick although it has been credited as a Bern Leno own goal after the ball ricocheted off the Fulham keeper’s back having hit the crossbar. Alexis Mac Allister netted a stunning volley for the Reds’ second before Wataru Endo curled home a spectacular finish off the bench in the 87th minute after…
Silva praises ‘world-class’ Alexander-Arnold and Mac Allister goals Speaking to Fulham’s media team, Silva admitted his side were helpless to prevent both Alexander-Arnold and Mac Allister’s stunning goals. This afternoon, the way they scored the goals, the first two were world-class – a free-kick and that great, great goal from Mac Allister,” the Cottagers boss said. “It’s not easy to do something against these types of situations. “These goals aren’t something that happen often. They didn’t create much, apart from the two goals first half, we didn’t give them much space behind our backline.” Fulham took an unexpected lead in…
Richard Keys has sparked controversy with his unusual explanation for why Trent Alexander-Arnold’s winning goal for Liverpool against Fulham was allowed to stand. In a thrilling match that saw the Reds come from behind twice, substitute Wataru Endō and vice-captain Alexander-Arnold scored late goals to secure a hard-fought 4-3 victory. McAteer stated: “I’ve got to admit, I thought there was (a foul). (Kostas) Tsimikas, the way he challenged, he didn’t win the ball. He barged into the player. It’s a brave call to disallow that, but for me, that’s a foul.” Yorke and Gray also agreed that it was a clear foul,…
Goals: Leno OG 20′, Mac Allister 38′, Endo 87′, Alexander-Arnold 88′; Wilson 25′, Tete 45′, De Cordova-Reid 80′ Caoimhin Kelleher (out of 10) – 4 It was a big day for Kelleher, as he came in for the injured Alisson, but it’s fair to say that it was a concerning performance. The Irishman could have done better for Harry Wilson‘s goal, and certainly needed to do more for Kenny Tete’s, and he seemed to unsettle the defence. He is a huge step down from Alisson, but the hope is that he grows in confidence with more games under his belt. Trent Alexander-Arnold – 8…

The Reds boss writes: “Welcome to Anfield for our Premier League home game against Fulham, our first fixture in an incredibly intense December schedule and an opportunity to hopefully get this spell off to a really good start. “This is a period when the games will come so thick and fast – Thursday, Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday lunchtime – so we have to be ready.
