Late on December 14, the top team Liverpool had a hard-fought draw against Fulham in round 16 of the English Premier League.
Not many people thought Liverpool would have a hard time hosting Fulham at Anfield in the Premier League round of 16. But the Kop fans almost suffered a shock.
As usual, Liverpool started strongly and caused Fulham many difficulties. However, the visitors from London also responded strongly with sharp attacks.
And the surprise happened in the 11th minute when Andreas Pereira scored from close range, putting Fulham ahead.
In this situation, Liverpool were completely overwhelmed by Fulham ‘s fast, precise and perfect attack .
But it must be admitted that Andreas Pereira’s tap-in was somewhat lucky when the ball hit Andy Robertson and flew into the net, leaving Allison helpless.
Not yet recovered from the shock of this goal, Liverpool fans continued to receive a bucket of cold water. Defender Andrew Robertson controlled the ball incorrectly, allowing Harry Wilson to run down and steal the ball.
Robertson then made amends by fouling Wilson. Realizing that the situation could have led to a goal, the referee showed Robertson a red card and sent him off.
Conceding a goal and playing with one less man, Liverpool were in a difficult situation. It was thought that The Kop would not be able to recover, but their spirit spoke for itself. Despite playing with one less man, Liverpool surprisingly dominated.
In the 47th minute, Mohamed Salah sent a perfect pass to Cody Gakpo to head the ball in for the equalizer. After the equalizer, Liverpool continued to push forward and left gaps in defense. In the 76th minute, from an attacking arrangement on the left wing, Rodrigo Muniz ran down to receive a cross from his teammate and then tapped the ball in to score the equalizer
Having conceded another goal, Liverpool pressed even harder. As a result, The Kop managed to hold on to a point thanks to Diogo Jota’s impressive dribble and finish in the 84th minute.
