With a 3-1 victory on Fulham’s home ground, Liverpool has surpassed Man City and caught up to Arsenal in points, continuing to nurture the dream of winning the Premier League this season.
Liverpool continues to compete for the Premier League title.
A few days after being eliminated from the Europa League (despite a 1-0 win against Atalanta in the second leg), Liverpool returned to the Premier League race. With Man City not playing this weekend, it was a clear opportunity for them and Arsenal to move up. The Gunners seized the chance with a comfortable 2-0 victory away at Wolves on Saturday. Consequently, the pressure was on The Kop as they traveled to Craven Cottage.
However, with a squad of higher quality and greater determination than Fulham, who had already secured their Premier League status, Liverpool managed to secure an impressive victory. The win was kick-started by a stunning free-kick from Trent Alexander-Arnold, marking an impressive return for the number 66.
Fulham indeed posed a bit of a challenge for the visitors when they equalized in the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, courtesy of Castagne. However, after the break, the situation turned in favor of the away team. In the 53rd minute, Iwobi made a careless pass right in his own half, Elliott intercepted the ball and passed it to Gravenberch, who unleashed a fierce shot to beat goalkeeper Leno. Then, in the 72nd minute, Jota broke the offside trap to seal a 3-1 victory for The Kop. With this win, Liverpool leveled with Arsenal on points (74), and they are only one point behind Man City, who have played one game less.
These developments continue to promise an exciting and thrilling three-way battle in the final rounds of the Premier League title race this season.
