Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool staged an electrifying comeback, marked by four stunning goals that left fans in awe.

The game against Fulham turned into an impromptu showcase of Liverpool’s goal-scoring prowess, culminating in a breathtaking 4-3 victory.
The scoring spree kicked off with Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose exquisite free-kick bounced off the crossbar and then off Fulham’s keeper Bernd Leno to open the account for Liverpool.
Following that, Alexis Mac Allister unleashed a formidable long-range strike that found the top corner. With Liverpool trailing 3-2 as the clock ticked towards the 87th minute, Wataru Endo bent a magnificent equalizer into the net.
The climax came shortly after, as Alexander-Arnold, before a delirious Anfield crowd, sealed the deal with a precise and powerful shot.

as a Fulham fan, this is tough to take. We played well but those Liverpool goals, man. They were just unstoppable. Hope we can bounce back from this.
gotta say, Klopp’s got a point. those goals were all top class, never seen anything like it in a single match. but we really need to work on our defense, letting in 3 isn’t great.
omg Endo’s goal was just beautiful, what a way to get your first for the club! and right at the end too, literally had me on the edge of my seat.
wow just saw the highlights, what a game! Alexander-Arnold is just fire this season, those goals were something else, can’t believe we pulled off that win in the last minutes.
