Liverpool secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Fulham in a match that was effectively decided within four first-half minutes at Anfield. The Reds struck twice between the 36th and 40th minutes through Rio Ngumoha and Mohamed Salah, capitalizing on clinical finishing after both teams had traded chances early on. Despite Fulham matching Liverpool's shot count (19-18) and even edging them on corners (9-6), Marco Silva's side couldn't convert their opportunities, with Harry Wilson and Joachim Andersen both spurning decent chances before Liverpool's decisive burst. The result maintains Liverpool's strong home form and represents a missed opportunity for Fulham, who showed they could compete but lacked the cutting edge in the final third.
