Overview
- Liverpool drew 2-2 at Fulham, with Cody Gakpo appearing to win it in stoppage time before Harrison Reed struck from 25 yards in the 97th minute.
- Florian Wirtz’s leveller was initially flagged offside but stood after a VAR check using semi‑automated offside technology, which the league says includes a small benefit‑of‑the‑doubt tolerance.
- Arne Slot said he would not risk Hugo Ekitike after an MRI showed a minor muscle issue, leaving Cody Gakpo to start centrally with attacking options already limited.
- Liverpool’s unbeaten run reached nine matches yet performances remain patchy, with only 32 goals in 19 league games and recurring late‑game lapses.
- Gary Neville believes Liverpool should still finish in the Champions League places but doubts they can reach last season’s level, with Arsenal up next at the Emirates.
