<\/a>A valuable win for Liverpool in top-five race<\/p>\n

Liverpool go four points clear of Chelsea in the race for Champions League. Chelsea face a Manchester City side in search of the title at Stamford Bridge tomorrow, so Liverpool\u2019s weekend could get better. Fulham have dropped to 11th after wins for Brighton and Bournemouth, as well as Brentford and Everton also picking up a point. <\/p>\n

6. Chelsea* – 48 pts (game in hand)<\/p>\n

<\/a>The moment of the match: 17-year-old Ngumoha’s stunning opening goal<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t a classic at Anfield, but there was a wonderful moment for Rio Ngumoha, whose brilliant curling finish provided the breakthrough for Liverpool\u2019s 2-0 win over Fulham. <\/p>\n

<\/a>FULL TIME! Liverpool end run of defeats with 2-0 win over Fulham<\/p>\n

A comfortable win for Liverpool, and they haven’t had enough of those this season. It could become a very good weekend for them if Chelsea don’t win tomorrow. The only concern for Liverpool was the loss of the injured Curtis Jones but otherwise most things went right. Slot was able to rest players. Salah got a goal at the start of his farewell. Ngumoha offered a lot of optimism for the future. This certainly wasn’t a day when the fans turned on the manager.<\/p>\n

<\/a>FULL TIME! Liverpool end run of defeats with 2-0 win over Fulham <\/p>\n

That\u2019s it! Liverpool see out their 2-0 win, with goals scored late in the first half through Rio Ngumoha and Mohamed Salah. It ends a run of three defeats in a row in all competitions, and a three-game winless run in the Premier League. <\/p>\n

The 17-year-old Nguomha is awarded man of the match. He\u2019s lifted the mood ahead of the second leg against PSG on Tuesday. Now, does he start? <\/p>\n

<\/a>Liverpool 2-0 Fulham<\/p>\n

90 mins: We\u2019re into just four minutes of added time. Both teams scored goals in stoppage time in the 2-2 draw at Craven Cottage earlier in the season. It doesn\u2019t feel like we\u2019ll get the same level of late drama here. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Liverpool 2-0 Fulham<\/p>\n

89 mins: A final change for Liverpool, and a standing ovation for Mohamed Salah. The big Anfield farewell is still a few weeks away, but he has ensured he gets another Anfield goal. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Liverpool 2-0 Fulham<\/p>\n

86 mins: It is very quiet at Anfield. But a shot from Jimenez goes just wide and now the Liverpool fans respond. The hosts have been unable to pull away, and Fulham have been unable to pull one back. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Liverpool 2-0 Fulham<\/p>\n

81 mins: Liverpool still can\u2019t kill off the game. Mac Allister sparks a break with a first-time pass to Gakpo, then ends up with a chance on the edge of the box. He thrashes wide. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Liverpool 2-0 Fulham<\/p>\n

80 mins: Two more changes for Fulham. Wilson and Muniz are replaced by Raul Jimenez and Samuel Chukwueze. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Liverpool 2-0 Fulham<\/p>\n

78 mins: Ooooh! That\u2019s the closest Fulham have come. Sessegnon pulls it back to Smith Rowe, who opens his foot but guides the first-time shot wide! Very close. <\/p>\n
