76° Fulham's goal!
Rodrigo Muñiz puts the visitor in the lead again.
74° Liverpool still does not finish well what they generate. Núñez was in the area, but he had no accompaniment and had to wait for Díaz to arrive to unload. His teammates are somewhat static.
72° Salah is selfish when choosing the shot and the ball goes wide. It was a good play with Díaz overflowing on the left to throw the cross that the Egyptian connected, which he did not want to unload on Szoboszlai, despite being ready for the shot.

Quansah and Núñez replace Jones and Gakpo.

64° Another arrival for Fulham with Pereira and Iwobi that ends in a shot by Lukic that was deflected off Alexander-Arnold. If Liverpool does not adjust, they will regret it.
62° Fulham warns
In this mini-match that Fulham is playing, Alexander-Arnold is having a hard time with Iwobi and Robinson working on his side. They made him one, two, and another dangerous look came from the Cottagers.
60° Iwobi is playing a good second half and activated Robinson to progress in speed and throw the cross, but Wilson did not get into the ball well and missed a good opportunity.
58° Yellow card in Liverpool
Curtis Jones is cautioned for a foul on Iwobi.
56° Fulham have sparks, but they cannot finish. Robinson got together well with Iwobi and Wilson, but Jiménez moved badly and the play ended there because the ball was left in Van Dijk.
54° Fulham substitution
Tete cannot continue. He entered the field and tried, but he could not and had to give way to Timothy Castagne.
51° Kenny Tete was injured in an action and is receiving medical attention. We will see if he can continue in the difficult moment that Fulham is going through.
49° Another play by Salah to join Szoboszlai and put a ball to Gakpo, who releases a shot that Leno manages to control without major problems. There was a lack of power in the shot.

47° Liverpool goal!
Cody Gakpo ties the story.
45° THE SECOND HALF BEGINS IN ANFIEND!
Liverpool, with the obligation to lift against Fulham, of good work and with the 0-1 sale.
Liverpool, with the pressure
A lot to rethink for the second half. It was not a good 45 minutes for the Premier League leaders, who suffered Pereira's goal from the start and then suffered with Robertson's expulsion because Fulham activated Wlson to put them in trouble. They managed to shake off about 10 minutes before half-time when Salah came on, but failed to equalise. Díaz had a header, but missed.
Half time For the moment Liverpool 0 Fulham 1
45°+7 It is played at Fulham's field, which wants the first stage to end. Salah, Szoboszlai and Curtis put together a good action, but in the end the Egyptian blundered in the area, There were many people and he could not connect the shot.
45° Six minutes of stoppage time will be played at Anfield.
44° Salah imposes his dribble and continues to discount opponents, but he has not been given that last brushstroke to overcome Cuenca especially. They end their last incursion in a corner kick.
42° Slot tries to transmit calm to his players and asks them to keep their game flowing, but it is uncomfortable because it has not been a good first half, which Salah has been rescuing with his repertoire.
40° Díaz loses the draw!
Great collective play by Liverpool with Salah putting Robinson in trouble and unloading on Szoboszlai, who put the ball as if with his hand to the Colombian, who missed the header and sent the ball over.
38° Szoboszlai unloads long with Salah, who has begun to activate and has put Cuenca to work again. Then Gakpo worried with a header winning for the top, but the ball was easy for goalkeeper Leno.
36° Fulham is proving very uncomfortable. He seems to have Liverpool very well studied and presses them at the exact moments to steal the ball and try those quick attacks.
34° Liverpool handles the ball, but has not managed to hurt. Salah enters the scene to put Cuenca to work, who does not want trouble and sends the ball to the corner kick. The Egyptian's first good foray.
32° Curtis begins to look like he is going to join Gapko and automatically wants to look for Lucho Diaz, but Diop gets in the way. Liverpool need Salah and more involvement from Alexander-Arnold.
30° Another chance for Fulhma
Now the visitor builds with a progression down the left flank for Pereira to make the curtain and Wilson to finish, which Gómez was able to contain.
28° Liverpool continue to suffer because every time Lukic or Iwobi shoot, they find an opportunity. Jiménez found a way to arrive dangerously in one of those actions and Van Dijk had to take over.
26° Yellow card at Fulham
Antonee Robinson is cautioned for a foul on Luis Díaz, the Colombian was going at speed and had to bring him down.
24° The Reds are trying to shake off the slump with Van Dijk taking the team off from the back and he is joined by Szoboszlai and Gakpo, but he could not control when he tried to get all the way to the back to cross.
22° Fulham plays Liverpool's field. Wilson has been a headache for the locals. They have not been able to control it and continue to impose their speed against a defense that had to reorganize after Robertson's red card.
19° (VAR) They maintain the decision
The VAR threw lines to review Wilson's position because the foul is very clear. The Fulham attacker is enabled and Robertson's red card is confirmed. Liverpool is left with 10.
18° There are complaints in Liverpool to the judge. They ask him to review the play, but he does not seem to have any doubts about the infraction. Robertson did not control the ball well and had to cross to Wilson.
16° Red card in Liverpool
Andrew Robertson is sent off for a foul on Wilson, in an obvious goalscoring action. The night came to the place.
13° He left Liverpool's goal frozen. Gakpo tries to push the team with an individual move, but he had too many men to discount and they put the brakes on him. Let's see what position the leader takes with the 0-1
