In an unprecedented turn of events during a Premier League match, Liverpool found themselves trailing behind at the 80th-minute mark – a first for the team in such a situation that resulted in a win.
Trent Alexander-Arnold emerged as Liverpool’s hero, netting a decisive goal in the 88th minute, propelling Liverpool to a spectacular comeback victory against Fulham in a nail-biting seven-goal extravaganza at Anfield.
With the clock ticking down at 87 minutes, Liverpool was down 3-2. However, in a dramatic twist, Wataru Endo leveled the score with his inaugural Premier League goal, and Alexander-Arnold swiftly turned the game on its head, securing Liverpool’s win.
The match began with Liverpool taking the lead at the 20-minute mark, courtesy of a free-kick by Alexander-Arnold that deflected off the crossbar and inadvertently off Fulham’s keeper, Bernd Leno, into the goal.
Former Liverpool player Harry Wilson quickly equalized for Fulham. Liverpool regained the lead through Alexis Mac Allister’s spectacular long-range goal after 38 minutes. Fulham, however, was not to be outdone, with Kenny Tete scoring the second equalizer during first-half injury time, followed by Bobby De Cordova-Reid putting Fulham ahead in the 80th minute.
Fulham’s lead seemed to spell the end of Liverpool’s 13-month unbeaten home streak in the Premier League. However, Liverpool defied the odds, maintaining their perfect record at Anfield for this season and closing in on Arsenal’s top position by two points.
Despite their spirited performance, Marco Silva’s Fulham remained in 14th place.
