Cody Gakpo ignited hope for Liverpool by equalizing just two minutes into the second half, capitalizing on a moment of brilliance to bring the score to 1-1. However, Fulham regained the lead 14 minutes from time, as Rodrigo Muniz finished expertly from Antonee Robinson’s second assist of the game, silencing the home crowd.
With the clock ticking down, Diogo Jota marked his return from injury in style, slotting home the equalizer just four minutes before the final whistle. His cool finish, set up by Darwin Nunez, ensured that Liverpool salvaged a point from a match that had seemed to slip away.
